EUDEMOS OF RHODES, pupil of Aristotle, whose Meta physics and Physics he revised. The Eudemian Ethics was prob ably not meant as an original work, but as an edition of a course on ethics by Aristotle. Eudemos gives a theological turn to the doctrines of his master and regards reason as the Divine element in our nature. Of his history of astronomy and mathematics, now lost, numerous extracts are to be found in later writers.

See the fragments edited by Spengel (1866 ; 2nd ed., 187o) , and by Mullah (1881) .
