Heraclides of Tarsus


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

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

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.
