Ariston of Athens
First Name Ariston
Born in Classical Athens
Ariston of Collytus, was the father of the Greek philosopher Plato. Legend holds that he was descended from Codrus, the ancient king of Athens. He supposedly could trace his ancestry to the God of the sea Poseidon through Codrus and Melanthus. Diogenes Laërtius on the authority of Speusippus and others, relates a story that "Ariston made violent love to Perictione, then in her bloom, and failed to win her; and that, when he ceased to offer violence, Apollo appeared to him in a dream, whereupon he left her unmolested until her child was born". Ariston died when Plato was still a boy, and his mother Perictione remarried Pyrilampes, a friend of the Athenian politician Pericles.
