Heraclides of Tarsus

Heraclides of Tarsus (Greek: Ἡρακλείδης, fl. 2nd century BC) was a Stoic philosopher native to Tarsus, Mersin.[1] He was a friend of Antipater of Tarsus, the sixth scholarch of the Stoa.[2] As a pupil of Antipater, he studied with Archedemus of Tarsus and Aristocreon, the nephew of Chrysippus.[3]

Along with Athenodoros Cananites, Heraclides argued that moral offenses are not equal and have degrees.[4]

Remnants of a table of contents from one of the manuscripts (manuscript P) of Diogenes Laërtius' Lives and Opinions of Eminent Philosophers showed a chapter on the life of Heraclides of Tarsus.
