Aeschines (Gr. Αἰσχίνης) of Neapolis was an Academic philosopher who shared the leadership of the Academy at Athens together with Charmadas and Clitomachus about 110 BC, when Clitomachus was an old man.[1][2] Diogenes Laertius says that he was a pupil and favourite (paidika) of Melanthius of Rhodes.[3]
