Mnesarchus of Athens

Mnesarchos of Athens ( Greek Μνήσαρχος Mnḗsarchos ) was a stoic philosopher in the age of Hellenism . He lived in the 2nd and early 1st century BC. Chr.

Mnesarch is said to have been a pupil of Diogenes of Babylon and Panaitios of Rhodes . After his death he was probably together with the stoic Dardanos Scholarch of the Stoa. Philon of Larisa and Antiochus of Ascalon are named as his pupils . Mnesarch apparently continued the line of Panaitios essentially.
