The Stoic Apollophanes of Antioch

Abstract This paper provides a new edition of the extant testimonies to the Stoic Apollophanes of Antioch (3rd century BCE ), a close follower of Aristo of Chios, and a full overview of his bios and doctrine as it emerges also from important new evidence not taken into account by Hans von Arnim in his Stoicorum Veterum Fragmenta . It is shown that defining Apollophanes as a ‘heterodox’ Stoic tout court does little justice to the complexity of his positions, especially those which distinguish him from his teacher, sometimes in a striking way.
