	Antigonus of Carystus - LoveToKnow 1911
		ANTIGONUS OF CARYSTUS (in Euboea), Greek writer on various subjects, flourished in the 3rd century B.C. After some time spent at Athens and in travelling, he was summoned to the court of Attalus I. (241-197) of Pergamum.
		His chief work was the Lives of Philosophers drawn from personal knowledge, of which considerable fragments are preserved in Athenaeus and Diogenes Laertius.

	Pausanias Attica
		Antigonus surnamed Gonatas became king of Macedonia in 283 B.C. [1.3.1] The district of the Cerameicus has its name from the hero Ceramus, he too being the reputed son of Dionysus and Ariadne.
		Antigonus now abandoned all hope of reducing Egypt in the circumstances, and dispatched Demetrius against the Rhodians with a fleet and a large army, hoping, if the island were won, to use it as a base against the Egyptians.
		Although Demetrius the son of Antigonus was now at variance with the Athenian people, he notwithstanding deposed Lachares too from his tyranny, who, on the capture of the fortifications, escaped to Boeotia.

	Pyrrho (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
		With the exception of a very few snippets of information, the only other source of evidence on Pyrrho that is close to contemporary is Antigonus of Carystus, a biographer of the mid-third century BC.
		For example, Diogenes (9.62) reports Antigonus as saying that Pyrrho's lack of trust in his senses led him to ignore precipices, oncoming wagons and dangerous dogs, and that his friends had to follow him around to protect him from these various everyday hazards.
		Antigonus has transformed a hostile criticism of Pyrrho — that, if one really were to adopt the attitudes he recommends, one would be unable consistently to live as a sane human being — into an account of how Pyrrho actually did act; but there is no reason to take this seriously as biography.

		Juba is one of his principal guides in botany; Theophrastus is also named in his Indices, and since Theophrastus's botanical work survives, it is possible to see the extent to which Pliny uses him, translating (and occasionally mistranslating) Theophrastus's difficult Greek into Latin.
		In the History of Art the original Greek authorities are Duris of Samos, Xenocrates of Sicyon, and Antigonus of Carystus.

	Diogenes Laertius, Life of Menedemus, from Lives of the Philosophers, translated by C.D. Yonge
		And once, when he heard some one assert that the greatest good was to succeed in everything that one desires; he said, "It is a much greater good to desire what is proper." But Antigonus of Carystus, tells us that he never wrote or composed any work, and never maintained any principle tenaciously.
		Antigonus was greatly attached to him, and professed himself his pupil; and when he defeated the barbarians, near Lysimachia, Menedemus drew up a decree for him, in simple terms, free from all flattery, which begins thus:
		And Antigonus of Carystus gives a similar account: and Persaeus was the only man with whom he had an implacable quarrel; for he thought that when Antigonus himself was willing to re-establish the democracy among the Eretrians for his sake, Persaeus prevented him.

		An anonymous papyrus from the second century C.E. asks us to remember how many boys the poet Anacreon (ca 570-485 B.C.E.) and wise Socrates had loved even when their hair was gray and how delightful their lives were in old age because of this.
		According to his biographer, Antigonus of Carystus, Zeno of Citium (335-263 B.C.E.), founder of the Stoic school of philosophy, never had sex with a woman, but favored boys all his life.
		The testimony of the vases about age differentials is straightforward and dovetails well with the literary evidence.

		And when he was young, he was so very intemperate and profligate, that he used always to carry money about with him, to procure the instant gratification of his passions; and he used also to hide money in the narrow alleys, for this purpose.
		And Antigonus, of Carystus, says in his Lives, that his father had been the chief man of the city, and had kept chariots for the Olympic games.
		He also asserts that Polemo was prosecuted by his wife, on the charge of ill-treatment, because he indulged in illicit pleasures, and despised her.

		Often too, says Antigonus, he would go away for a time, without telling any one beforehand, and taking any chance persons whom he chose for his companions.

		The periodic feasts of a thiasos were in any case religious occasions with their appropriate sacrifices.

		Much of the instruction would be by Plato’s favoured dialectical method, but he also gave continuous lectures, some of which were open to a wider audience.
