Theophrastus, born in Eresos of Lesbos around 370 BC, studied at the Platonic Academy and formed a friendship with Aristotle. After the Stagirite's departure from Athens (323 BC), he succeeded him in the management of the Lyceum. He taught numerous students, including Menander, Demetrius of Phalerum, and Deinarchus. He died at an advanced age in 287 BC.
His works, both thematically and in titles, refer back to Aristotle, whom he generally followed. He engaged in all areas of natural science as well as philosophy, rhetoric, and political thought. From his philosophical work, we have few fragments, but a large part of his writings on botany and the 'Characters' are preserved.
