Ariston of Collytus ({{lang-el|Ἀρίστων}}; died c. 424 BC), was the father of the Greek philosopher Plato (originally named Aristocles). Legend holds that he was descended from Codrus, the ancient king of Athens.{{sfn|Laërtius|1925|loc=§ 1}} Diogenes Laërtius on the authority of Speusippus and others, relates a story that "Ariston made violent love to Perictione, then in her bloom, and failed to win her; and that, when he ceased to offer violence, Apollo appeared to him in a dream, whereupon he left her unmolested until her child was born".{{sfn|Laërtius|1925|loc=§ 2}} Ariston died when Plato was still a boy, and his mother Perictione remarried Pyrilampes, a friend of the Athenian politician Pericles.[1]Ariston had three other children by Perictione: Glaucon, Adeimantus, and Potone.{{sfn|Laërtius|1925|loc=§ 4}} Notes1. ^Plato, The Republic, Trans.
