Phanto of Phlius

Phanto of Phlius

Phanto (or Phanton) ( _el. Φάντων), of Phlius, was a Pythagorean philosopher, and one of the last of the school until the Neo-Pythagorean revival in the Roman era. He was a disciple of Philolaus and Eurytus, and, probably in his old age, contemporary with Aristoxenus, the Peripatetic philosopher, c. 320 BC. [Iamblichus, "de Vit. Pythag." cc. 35, 36.] [Diogenes Laërtius, viii.]
