Aratos et le stoïcisme

In this paper I consider first the possible points of tangent between Aratus and Stoicism as far as the biographical point of view is concerned, and secondly read the opening of the Phaenomena in the light of the Hymn to Zeus of Cleanthes again. Aratus’ links with Stoicism ultimately prove to be quite thin in the writing of the poet. Stoic Aratus is especially the creation of the interest that Stoics did manifest to his work, a work which was composed in an environment quite widely influenced by the philosophy of the Stoa.
