Echecrates
Deceased Person
Who is Echecrates?
In ancient Greece, Echecrates was the name of the following men:
⁕Echecrates of Thessaly, a military officer of Ptolemy IV Philopator, documented around 219–217 BC.
⁕A son of Demetrius the Fair by Olympias of Larissa, and brother of Antigonus III Doson. He had a son named Antigonus after his uncle.
⁕Three Pythagorean philosophers mentioned by Iamblichus:
⁕A Locrian, one of those to whom Plato is said to have gone for instruction. The name Caetus in Valerius Maximus is perhaps an erroneous reading for Echecrates.
⁕A Tarentine, probably the same who is mentioned in Plato's Ninth Letter.
⁕Echecrates of Phlius, a contemporary with Aristoxenus the Peripatetic.
