Aristo (or Ariston) of Alexandria (; ) was a Peripatetic philosopher who lived in the 1st century BC.

Ariston Of Sparta
Ariston () was a king of Sparta, 14th of the Eurypontid kings, son of Agasicles, and contemporary of the Agiad king, Anaxandridas II, Anaxandrides II. He reigned from approximately 560 BC to shortly after 510 BC. There are two main sources for him, Herodotus and Pausanias (geographer), Pausanias. Of his military or political activities we are told nothing. His claim to fame is that he fathered – or maybe not – his successor, Demaratus, Damaratus, who was later deposed for being illegitimate. As Herodotus told it, Ariston had married twice, but neither wife had borne him a child. He had a close friend named Agetus who had an exceedingly beautiful wife, and Ariston, having fallen in love with her, connived to trick his friend into trading this woman for anything among his belongings that Agetus might choose. Once married to her, she became pregnant, and a son was later born – but after 10 months. When Ariston was first told of the birth, he counted the months since the marria ...

Ariston Of Megalopolis
Ariston () of Megalopolis was a political figure of some sort in Achaea in the 2nd century BCE. At the outbreak of the Third Macedonian War in 171 BCE, pitting the Romans against Perseus of Macedon, Ariston advised the Achaeans to ally themselves with the Romans, and not to remain neutral between the two belligerent parties. In the next year, he was one of the Achaean ambassadors -- along with Archon of Aegeira and Arcesilaus of Megalopolis -- who were sent to bring about a peace in the Sixth Syrian War between Antiochus IV Epiphanes and Ptolemy VI Philometor.

Ariston Of Ceos
Aristo of Ceos (; ; ) was a Peripatetic philosopher and a native of the island of Ceos. His birthplace was the town of Ioulis. He is not to be confused with Aristo of Chios, a Stoic philosopher of the mid 3rd century BC. Aristo was a pupil of Lyco, who had succeeded Strato as the head of the Peripatetic school from about 269 BC. After the death of Lyco (c. 225), Aristo probably succeeded him as the head of the school. Although Aristo was, according to Cicero, a man of taste and elegance, he was deficient in gravity and energy, which prevented his writings from acquiring the popularity they otherwise deserved. This may have been one of the causes of their neglect and loss. Judging from the scant extant fragments, his philosophical views seem to have followed his master Lyco pretty closely. Diogenes Laërtius, after enumerating the works of Aristo of Chios, says that Panaetius and Sosicrates attributed all these works, except the letters, to Aristo of Ceos. Whether this attributi ...

Ariston Of Corinth
Ariston () of Corinth, son of Pyrrhichus, was one of those apparently who made their way into Syracuse during the second year of the Sicilian Expedition, in 414 BCE. He is named once by the historian Thucydides, in his account of the sea-fight preceding the arrival of the second armament in 413 BCE, and described as the most skillful helmsman on the side of the Syracusans. He suggested to them the stratagem of retiring early, giving the men their meal on the shore, and then renewing the combat unexpectedly, which in that battle gave them their first naval victory. The writers Plutarch and Diodorus Siculus ascribe to him the invention or introduction at Syracuse of the important alterations in the build of their galleys' bows, also mentioned by Thucydides, and said by him to have been previously used by the Corinthians in the action off Erineos. According to Plutarch, he fell in battle just as the victory was won, in the last, decisive sea-fight.Thucydides, ''History of the Peloponn ...
