Philonides ({{lang-grc-gre|Φιλωνίδης}}, c. 200 – c. 130 BCE) of Laodicea in Syria, was an Epicurean philosopher and mathematician who lived in the Seleucid court during the reigns of Antiochus IV Epiphanes and Demetrius I Soter. He is known principally from a Life of Philonides which was discovered among the charred papyrus scrolls at the Villa of the Papyri at Herculaneum.[1] Philonides was born into a family with good connections with the Seleucid court.[2] He is said to have been taught by Eudemus and Dionysodorus the mathematician.[3] Philonides attempted to convert Antiochus IV Epiphanes to Epicureanism, and later instructed his nephew, Demetrius I Soter, in philosophy.[2] Philonides was highly honoured in the court, and he is also known from various stone inscriptions.[4] He was renowned as a mathematician, and is mentioned by Apollonius of Perga in the preface to the second book of his Conics.[3][5] Philonides was a zealous collector of the works of Epicurus and his colleagues, and is said to have published over 100 treatises, probably compilations of the works he collected.[6] Notes1. ^Vita Philonidi, PHerc. 1044 {{Epicureanism}}{{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Philonides of Laodicea}}2. ^1 Dov Gera, (1998), Judaea and Mediterranean Politics, 219 to 161 B.C.E., page 274.
