Calliphon
Appearance
Calliphon (or Callipho, Koinē Greek: Καλλιφῶν) was a Greek philosopher, who probably belonged to the Peripatetic school and lived in the 2nd century BCE.[1] He is mentioned several times and condemned by Cicero as making the chief good of man to consist in a union of virtue (Latin: honestas) and bodily pleasure (Ancient Greek: ἡδονή, Latin: voluptas), or, as Cicero says, in the union of the human with the beast.[2]
