Letters to Lucilius
Stoic philosopher cited for a remark on human folly
What then, as Ariston says, is the difference between us and them, save that we go mad over pictures and statues, fools at a dearer rate?
He will show me the philosopher Ariston, who used to lecture from his litter, for he had taken that time to publish his works.
Ariston used to say that he preferred a young man austere to one cheerful and pleasing to the crowd.
Stromata
Philosopher cited on the need for constant exercise and struggle against the four passions.
Whence, as Ariston said, against the whole tetrachord — pleasure, grief, fear, desire — there is need of much exercise and battle:
Why should I reckon up Ariston for you?
Theomnestus and Apollodorus Against Neaera
One of the three children Neaera brought with her from Megara to Athens, whom Stephanus promised to introduce as citizens.
So he brought her with him from Megara to Athens, and with her her three children, Proxenus and Ariston and a daughter whom they now call Phano.
for these women know perfectly well that Proxenus, who died, Ariston, who is still living, and Antidorides the runner, and Phano, formerly called Strybel, who married Theogenes, the king, are children of Neaera.
Apollodorus is ready to receive for examination by the torture the women-servants of Neaera, Thratta and Coccalinê, whom she brought with her from Megara, and those whom she subsequently purchased while living with Stephanus—Xennis, namely, and Drosis—women who have accurate knowledge regarding the children of Neaera, that they are not by Stephanus.
Against Conon
The plaintiff and speaker, who alleges that Conon and his associates assaulted and gravely injured him.
For, grievous as was the injury which at that time fell to my lot, it was no more so than the subsequent insults of the defendant.
With gross outrage I have met, men of the jury, at the hands of the defendant, Conon, and have suffered such bodily injury that for a very long time neither my relatives nor any of the attending physicians thought that I should survive.
and, secondly, that I myself, if I had not been thus treated by the defendant, should never have let off men who are admitted by my opponents themselves to have struck me, and have chosen to proceed first against the one who never laid a finger on me.
The Histories
King of Sparta, father (by his own eventual acknowledgment) of Demaratus, whose early sworn denial of paternity becomes the pretext for his son's later deposition.
This man was Ariston 's friend.
Time passed and Ariston died, so Demaratus held the kingship.
Ariston, king of Sparta, had married twice but had no children.
In Defence of Lycophron
The prosecutor bringing the impeachment against the defendant; portrayed by the defence as a habitual sycophant who extorts money through threatened prosecutions and who has manipulated legal procedure.
But you, Ariston, have not merely discussed my advocates;
Let me explain the kind of method which this man Ariston employs.
but you override every law yourself, by presenting an impeachment in a case where the laws require a public charge before the Thesmothetae.
Republic
Father of Glaucon and Adeimantus, referenced in the quoted elegiac line.
It was excellently spoken of you, sons of the man we know, in the beginning of the elegy which the admirer of Glaucon wrote when you distinguished yourselves in the battle of Megara — Sons of Ariston, whose race from a glorious sire is god-like.
Anabasis
Athenian envoy sent with Callimachus and Samolas.
And they sent Callimachus the Arcadian, Ariston the Athenian, and Samolas the Achaean.
Hellenica
One of the Byzantines who conspire to betray the city to the Athenians.
But when Clearchus had sailed away, those who wanted to betray the city of the Byzantines set about their work,—Cydon, Ariston, Anaxicrates, Lycurgus, and Anaxilaus.
