4th-century BC Greek philosopher
Erastus of Scepsis (/ɪˈræstəs/; Greek: Ἔραστος Σκήψιος) and his brother Coriscus were students of Plato.[1] He was also a friend of Aristotle.
Scepsis is located about fifty kilometers from Assos in Asia Minor, to which Aristotle and Xenocrates traveled after Plato's death.
