Apollonius Cronus

Apollonius Cronus

Apollonius Cronus from Cyrene was a philosopher of the Megarian school of philosophy who lived in the middle of the 4th century BCE.

Very little is known about him. He was the pupil of Eubulides, [Diogenes Laërtius, ii. 111] and was the teacher of Diodorus Cronus, as Strabo relates: [Strabo, xiv. 2. 21; xvii. 3. 22]

Apollonius Cronus, was from Cyrene, ... being the teacher of Diodorus the Dialectician, who also was given the appellation "Cronus," certain persons having transferred the epithet of the teacher to the pupil. [Strabo, xvii. 3. 22]
