Library › Greek: Philosophy › Testimonia
Testimonia gathers the two ancient reports about Eudromus, a Stoic philosopher known only from Diogenes Laertius' Lives of the Philosophers. Nothing is known of his life or date. Diogenes cites his Elements of Ethics on the Stoic division of philosophy into three parts, physics, ethics and logic, and records that he, like Chrysippus, called these parts "species", and that he placed logic first, physics second and ethics third.
These brief notices preserve a small but real piece of Stoic school debate about how philosophy should be divided and taught. They show that the order of the three parts was a genuine point of disagreement among Stoics, and that the tradition included many writers whose works are now lost.
