Erymneus (Greek: Ἐρυμνεύς; fl. c. 110 BC) was a Peripatetic philosopher in Ancient Greece . Erymneus succeeded Diodorus of Tyre as scholarch (leader) of the Lyceum. Very little is known about him, and he is known only because he is mentioned by Athenaeus.[1] He instructed Athenion, whose identity is obscure, in philosophy.[2] He led the school while Apellicon of Teos was a member. The school had a renewed vitality under Erymneus.[3]
