Demetrius Lacon or Demetrius of Laconia (late 2nd century BC) was an Epicurean philosopher, and a disciple of Protarchus.〔Diogenes Laertius, x. 26; Strabo, xiv. 2. 20〕 He was an older contemporary of Zeno of Sidon and a teacher of Philodemus. Sextus Empiricus quotes part of a commentary by Demetrius on Epicurus, where Demetrius interprets Epicurus' statement that « time is an accident of accidents. »〔Sextus Empiricus, ''Against the professors'', 10.219-27〕 Papyrus scrolls containing portions of the works of Demetrius were discovered at the Villa of the Papyri at Herculaneum. The major works partially preserved are:〔John T. Fitzgerald, Dirk Obbink, Glenn Stanfield Holland, (2004), ''Philodemus and the New Testament World'', page 10.
