'''Panaetius (Greek, Panaitios)'''. Greek Neo-Platonic philosopher of the 2nd cent. b.c. Born in the island of Rhodes, descended from a family of long-standing celebrity. Pupil of grammarian Crates, in Pergamum; studied at Athens under the Stoic Diogenes of Babylon, later under Antipater of Tarsus. Gained the friendship of P. Scipio Aemilianus, and accompanied him on the embassy he undertook, two years after the conquest of Carthage, to the kings of Egypt and Asia in alliance with Rome. Spent the latter part of his life at Athens as head of the Stoic School. Died sometime before 111 b.c. His principal work is his treatise on Moral Obligation in three books, closely adhered to by Cicero in his writings on the same subject. Panaetius followed Aristotle, Xenocrates, Theophrastus, and especially Plato, softening the harsh severity of the older stoics, and modifying their teachings so as to make them applicable to the conduct of life.
