Chrysippus of Soli
Chrysippus
also: Chrysippi
Greek Stoic philosopher (c. 279--c. 206 BC), the third head of the Stoic school and its great systematizer, especially in logic and dialectic; held that some statements about the future are possible even if they never come to pass, against the determinist position of Diodorus Cronus. Cicero contrasts the two views in the logic-joke of Fam. 9.4.
