He was born in Soloi-Pompeiopolis of probable Phoenician descent, but moved to Athens as a young man after losing considerable land when it was confiscated by the king&#8217;s treasury. He soon became a disciple of Cleanthes, then the head of the Stoic school, which was located at the north end of the Athenian agora.&nbsp;<\/font><\/div>\n<div style=\"\"><font size=\"4\" face=\"Arial\">Chrysippos was an&nbsp;extremely&nbsp;prolific writer, composing more than 700 works, and succeeded Cleanthes as head of the Stoic school upon his death, around 230 BC. His numerous writings earned him the&nbsp;title of the Second Founder of Stoicism. One of the last of the Stoic philosophers was Marcus Aurelius(138\/161-180), it is perhaps no surprise that Soloi-Pompeiopolis honored its famous citizen with coin portraits in the Antonine period, an era that saw the heyday of the &#8216;younger Stoa&#8217;.<\/font><\/div>\n<div style=\"\"><font size=\"4\" face=\"Arial\">Chrysippos died during the 143rd Olympiad at the age of 73.
