Crates

And Zeno of Citium, who began the Stoic school, becomes a pupil of Crates.

Hearers of Polemo were Crates and Crantor, in whom the Old Academy from Plato came to an end.

I remember too a certain Cynic woman, called Hipparchia, the Maronite, the wife of Crates, in whose honour he even celebrated the "dog-wedding" in the Stoa Poikile.

But Speusippus and Xenocrates, who were the first to take up Plato's method and authority, and after them Polemo and Crates, and together with them Crantor, gathered in the Academy, diligently maintained what they had received from their predecessors.

Nor is it anything new to renounce wealth and bestow it on the poor or on one's country, which many did before the Saviour's coming, some for the sake of leisure for letters and a dead wisdom, others for the sake of empty fame and vainglory—men like Anaxagoras and Democritus and Crates.

And many others too have written, some praising the poet outright while at the same time expounding some of the things said by him, others setting forth this very thing, his meaning — not only Aristarchus and Crates and several others of those afterward called grammarians, but formerly critics.

See, at all events, what Crates says of Xenocrates himself.

Crates, as they say, the pupil of this very Stilbo whom I mentioned in my last letter, when he had seen a young man walking apart by himself, asked what he was doing there alone.

But for the cloak nothing is readier, even if it be double, as that of Crates.
