CHRISTOPHER BARON

University of Notre Dame

Patronymic, Athenian, father of XANTHIPPUS (6.131.2, 136.1; 7.33; 8.131.3) and thus grandfather of PERICLES. Ariphron was presumably wealthy and/or of high social status, given his son’s MARRIAGE to AGARISTE (II), of the ALCMAEONIDAE, c. 496 BCE (Davies 1971, 455–56). In the fragments of a philosophical dialogue found on papyrus (POxy. 4.664 and 50.3544, with Luppe 1985), concerning government and TYRANTS, Ariphron appears as a friend of both Peisistratus and PERIANDER of CORINTH. It is uncertain how seriously we should take this dramatic context (cf. Figueira 1986, 277–78).
