Aesara

Pythagorean philosopher who wrote On Human Nature, of which a fragment is preserved by Stobaeus. · Academics

Aesara of Lucania was a Pythagorean philosopher and attested author of On Human Nature, a fragment of which is preserved by Stobaeus. The authorship has been contested, most notably by Holger Thesleff in a critical note to the Greek text.

Aesara is read about 12 times a day, in 16 languages.

A typical day, 30 days to 15 June 2026

The middle day of the days counted, so one week of news cannot move it. The line under it is the last 60 days, one point a day.

About this person

Thesleff suggests that the attribution by Stobaeus to Aesara is an emendation error in the manuscript. He attributes it instead to Aresas, a male writer from Lucania who is also mentioned by Iamblichus in his Life of Pythagoras.
