Charmadas

Charmadas

Charmadas, (or Charmides; 164/3-c. 95 BC[1]) was an Academic philosopher and a disciple of Clitomachus at the Academy in Athens. He was a friend and companion (as he had been the fellow-pupil) of Philo of Larissa. He was teaching in Athens by 110 BC, and was clearly an important philosopher.[2] He was still alive in 103 BC,[3] but was dead by 91 BC.[4] Cicero tells us that he was remarkable for his eloquence and for the great extent and retentiveness of his memory. His philosophical opinions were doubtless similar with those of Philo.
