Diogene ̄s of Babylo ̄n). He also engaged D K’ infamous so-called Master
Argument, denying (as K A before him had done) one of Diodo ̄ros’ prem-
ises in the Argument: that past truths are necessary. He modified (or at least tightened up)
the earlier Stoic definition of the goal of life in response to the sharp criticisms of the
Academic K, with whom Antipatros debated at length on paper (SVF 3.244 =
P, Garrul. 23 [514D]), but never, to Karneade ̄s’ apparent consternation, face to
face.
C (Div. 1.6) cites Antipatros as having defended divination in two books on the
subject, and arguing (as had Chrysippus and Diogene ̄s of Babylo ̄n) from the premise that
“there are gods” to the conclusion that “divination exists” (ibid. 1.9, 1.82–84). Our know-
ledge of his physics is clouded by the fact that he is in some sources confused with (or at least
not sufficiently distinguished from) A T. Modern sources tend to accrete
many unspecified “Antipatros” fragments onto Antipatros of Tarsos rather than his Tyrian
namesake. One of the two argued that the voice of humans and animals is corporeal, that
the soul is “warm pneuma,” both of which were common Stoic positions, and that “body
is finite substance.” One of them wrote books On the Soul, and On Substance.

Antipatros of Tyre (100 – 40 BCE)
Stoic who introduced Cato the Younger to philosophy. He wrote at least ten books On the
Kosmos (D L, 7.139–140), claiming that the kosmos is living, ensouled,
and rational, with aithe ̄r as its he ̄gemonikon. He says that the substance of god is air-like
(D.L., 7.148). In some references to “Antipatros”’ arguments, it is unclear whether he or
A T is meant, but given that a work On the Kosmos is connected with
them, a typically standard Stoic claim that the kosmos is spherical, harmonious, and
unified is probably attributable to Antipatros of Tyre. He also seems to have discussed the
generation and destruction of the kosmos (D.L., 7.142).

Antiphane ̄s of De ̄los (400? – 300 BCE)
Medical writer before the time of T (see De sudore 17). He took a marked
interest in dietetics: “The physician of De ̄los Antiphane ̄s said one of the causes of sicknesses
stemmed from the variety of exotic dishes which were sought out of sheer snobbishness”
(Clement of Alexandria, Paedag. 2.1.2). A Y (G CMLoc 5.5
[12.877.8–11 K.]) knew of one of his plasters for painful molars. C A
(Chron. 4.114, CML 6.1.2, p. 838.25) tells us that he is the author of a book called Panopte ̄s,
but there may be here some confusion with Antiphane ̄s, the comic poet: Panopte ̄s is the title
of plays by two other comic dramatists, Kratinos (frr. 158 – 170 PCG) and Euboulos (fr. 71
PCG).
