a Stoic philosopher, born at Solos in Cilicia, was disciple to Cleanthes, Zeno's successor. He wrote many books, several of which related to logic. None of the philosophers spoke in stronger terms of the fatal necessity of every thing, nor more pompously of the liberty of man, than the Stoics. Chrysippus in particular. He was so considerable among them, as to establish it into a proverb, that if it had not been for Chrysippus, the porch had never been. Yet the Stoics complained, as Cicero relates, that he had collected so many arguments in favour of the sceptical hypothesis, that he could not answer them himself; and thus had furnished Carneades, their antagonist, with weapons against them. There is an apophthegm of this philosopher preserved, which does him honour. Being told that some persons spoke ill of him, "It is no matter (said he), I will live so that they shall not be believed."
