Karneades, Carneades
A Libyan, from Cyrene, the son of Philokomos; a philosopher. The very man from whom the New Academy originated. They say that when he died, the moon suffered an eclipse and the sun grew dim.
Καρνεάδης, Λίβυς, ἀπὸ Κυρήνης, υἱὸς Φιλοκώμου, φιλόσοφος, ἀφ' οὗπερ ἡ νέα Ἀκαδημία ἤρξατο. φασὶ δὲ τελευτήσαντος αὐτοῦ τὴν σελήνην ἐκλιπεῖν καὶ τὸν ἥλιον ἀμυδρὸν γενέσθαι.
