Menedemus of Eretria (Greek: Μενέδημος ὁ Ἐρετριεύς; 345/44 – 261/60 BC[1]) was a Greek philosopher and founder of the Eretrian school.[2] He learned philosophy first in Athens, and then, with his friend Asclepiades, he subsequently studied under Stilpo and Phaedo of Elis. Nothing survives of his philosophical views apart from a few scattered remarks recorded by later writers.
