History and biography

The indications on the life of Chrysippe are as very few as the influence of this one was large. It succeeded Cléanthe in teaching and was regarded as the column of the Portique; it fought the Epicureans and the Academicians, and had as an main adversary Carnéade. Sometimes it cultivated the dialectical one and pushed subtlety until excess. One allots to him the invention of several Sophisme S, inter alia that of the crocodile. There remain almost nothing of its many works. Cicéron imitated in its Offices one of its treaties of morals.

It is told that Chrysippe de Soli died of a giggle by looking at an ass eating its figs to him after having said to the old woman who had the ass: “A also little wine Gives to your ass! ”
