	The Roman Empire
		It was a time of economic distress among the Greeks, and a leader from Corinth named Critolaus traveled from town to town in Greece calling for debt reform and opposition to Rome.
		Critolaus described the real enemies of the Greeks as those among them who called for conciliation with Rome.
		In Corinth, moderate opinion was silenced, and in the spring of 146 Critolaus persuaded the Achaean league to declare war against Rome's presence in their part of the world.

		Sextus and his fellow-commissioners, therefore, convinced of the ill disposition of Critolaus, and much annoyed at his conduct, dismissed the Lacedaemonians to their own country, and themselves returned to Italy with strong views as to the folly and infatuation of Critolaus.
		Critolaus was already engaged in besieging Heracleia, to compel it to return to its obedience to the League, and when his scouts informed him of the approach of Metellus, he retreated to Scarphea on the coast of Locris, some miles south of the pass of Thermopylae.
		Critolaus himself disappeared; Pausanias seems to imagine that he was drowned in the salt marshes of the coast, but Livy says that he poisoned himself.

		The eloquent harangue pronounced in favour of justice, and the equally eloquent harangue pronounced next day against it by the same speaker without a blush of shame, had set Cato's face like a flint in opposition to Greek learning.

		Caesar was requested to arrange a conference of deputies of the contending parties at Tegea for the settlement of the question.
		Caesar thereupon returned to Rome; and the next national assembly of the Achaeans on the proposal of Critolaus formally declared war against Sparta.
		Even now Metellus made an attempt amicably to settle the quarrel, and sent envoys to Corinth; but the noisy -ecclesia-, consisting mostly of the populace of that wealthy commercial and manufacturing city, drowned the voice of the Roman envoys and compelled them to leave the platform.

		In the middle of the 2nd century Roman Hellenism centred in the circle of Scipio Aemilian.us, which included men like Polybius and the philosopher Panaetius.
		The visit of the three great philosophers, Diogenes the Babylonian, Critolaus and Carneades in 155, was an epoch-making event in the history of Hellenism at Rome.
		Opposition there could not fail to be, and in 161 a senatus consultum ordered all Greek philosophers and rhetoricians to leave the city.

		But Metellus quickened the pursuit, and overtook and defeated the Greek army near Scarpheia in Locris.
		The loss in prisoners and dead was considerable; Critolaus was never heard of after the battle.
		The war accordingly was continued, and after the same style.

		Greek philosophy became more a part of Roman culture, when the Athenian government sent three heads of the philosophical schools; Carneads the Academic, Diogenes the Stocia and Critolaus the Peripatetic.
		Carneads made a spectacular impression on the Romans by arguing both sides that Hellenism took Rome by storm again.

		But, whereas Antiochus' depiction of the peripatoi made them appear inconsistent and eclectic, White argues that one can find in their apparent diversity of opinions an attempt "to shore up Aristotelian Ethics by turning Stoic ingredients to the Lyceum's advantage" (76).
		Thus, according to Smith, in the 3rd century Lycon and Hieronymus articulated accounts of eudaimonia that incorporated the best elements of Stoic "dispassion" (eupatheia), and in the 2nd century Critolaus incorporated the best elements of Stoic "being reasonable" (eulogistein) in his account of eudaimonia (81-2, 85).
		White bases his argument in large part on linguistic parallels between these peripatetic accounts of eudaimonia and those found in Stoic accounts, and it is here that his respondent, Brad Inwood, attacks his argument.

	Carneades
		Chrysippus, the third scholarch of the Stoa, was the principal architect of the Stoic philosophical system and the most important stimulus to Carneades, who is reported to have said, "If Chrysippus had not been, I would not have been" (a version of the saying, "If Chrysippus had not been, there would have been no Stoa").
		Carneades became head or scholarch of the Academy sometime before 155 B.C.E., when, together with Diogenes and Critolaus, the head of Aristotle's school, the Peripatos, he was sent to Rome to represent Athens in a petition before the senate.
		Like Arcesilaus and Socrates before him, Carneades wrote nothing, but made his mark through face to face teaching and argument.

		This change is due to the Achaean League.
		The Corinthians, being members of it, joined in the war against the Romans, which Critolaus, when appointed general of the Achaeans, brought about by persuading to revolt both the Achaeans and the majority of the Greeks outside the Peloponnesus.
		When the Romans won the war, they carried out a general disarmament of the Greeks and dismantled the walls of such cities as were fortified.

		Of Skepticism as propounded by Pyrrho of Elis (365-275 B.C.) and by Timon, Sextus Empiricus said that those who seek must find or deny they have found or can find, or persevere in the inquiry.

	CHURCH FATHERS: A Treatise on the Soul (Tertullian)
		Probable view of the Stoics, that the soul has a corporeal nature.
		Suppose one summons a Eubulus to his assistance, and a Critolaus, and a Zenocrates, and on this occasion Plato's friend Aristotle.
		They may very possibly hold themselves ready for stripping the soul of its corporeity, unless they happen to see other philosophers opposed to them in their purpose--and this, too, in greater numbers--asserting for the soul a corporeal nature.
