Archedemus of Tarsus (Greek: Άρχέδημος ὁ Ταρσεύς)[1] was a Stoic philosopher who flourished around 140 BC. Two of his works: On the Voice (Greek: Περὶ Φωνῆς) and On Elements (Greek: Περὶ Στοιχείων), are mentioned by Diogenes Laërtius.[2]
Archedemus is probably the same person as the Archedemus, whom Plutarch calls an Athenian, and who, he states, went into Parthia and founded a school of Stoic philosophers at Babylon.[3]
Archedemus is also mentioned by Cicero,[4] Seneca,[5] Epictetus,[6] and other ancient writers.
