Chrysippus of Soli (, ; ) was a
Greek Stoic philosopher. He was a native of
Soli, Cilicia, but moved to
Athens as a young man, where he became a pupil of
Cleanthes in the Stoic school. When Cleanthes died, around 230 BC, Chrysippus became the third head of the school. A prolific writer, Chrysippus expanded the fundamental doctrines of
Zeno of Citium, the founder of the school, which earned him the title of Second Founder of Stoicism.
