Polemon (scholarch)
Polemon (, ''gen''.: Πολέμωνος; d. 270/269 BC) of Athens was an eminent Platonist philosopher and Plato's third successor as scholarch or head of the Academy from 314/313 to 270/269 BC. A pupil of Xenocrates, he believed that philosophy should be practiced rather than just studied, and he placed the highest good in living according to nature.
==Life==
Polemon was the son of Philostratus, a man of wealth and political distinction. In his youth, he was extremely profligate; but one day, when he was about thirty, on his bursting into the school of Xenocrates, at the head of a band of revellers, his attention was so arrested by the discourse, which the master continued calmly in spite of the interruption, and which chanced to be upon temperance, that he tore off his garland and remained an attentive listener, and from that day he adopted an abstemious course of life, and continued to frequent the school, of which, on the death of Xenocrates, he became the scholarch, in 315 BC.〔Diogenes Laërtius, iv. 16〕
His disciples included Crates of Athens, who was his eromenos,〔Diogenes Laërtius, iv. 21, 22〕 and Crantor,〔Diogenes Laërtius, iv. 17, 22〕 as well as Zeno of Citium〔Diogenes Laërtius, vii. 2, 25〕 and Arcesilaus.〔Diogenes Laërtius, iv. 22, 24〕 According to Eusebius (''Chron.'') he died in 270/269 BC (or possibly, as in some manuscripts, 276/275 BC). Diogenes Laërtius says that he died at a great age, and of natural decay.〔Diogenes Laërtius, iv. 20〕 Crates was his successor in the Academy.〔Diogenes Laërtius, iv. 21〕
