Abstract

Abstract This chapter advances a new interpretation of what is perhaps the main source for Chrysippus' theory of physical elements (fire, air, water, and earth): a passage from Stobaeus' 5th-century ad anthology, Eclogae Physicae et Ethicae, at 1. 129-30 Wachsmuth. The chapter also sheds light on (a) the nature of the corporealism of the Stoics in connection with their theory of principles — what it is for both god and matter to be bodies — and (b) Chrysippus' conception of cosmogony as distinct from that of Zeno and that of Cleanthes.
