Estratón

This name derives from the Ancient Greek “stratós (στρᾰτός),” meaning “army, military force.” 1) Strato I was an Indo-Greek king who was the son of the Indo-Greek queen Agathokleia, who presumably acted as his regent during his early years after Strato’s father, another Indo-Greek king, was killed. 2) Straton was a peripatetic philosopher and the third director (scholarch) of the Lyceum after Theophrastus’s death. He devoted himself mainly to the study of natural science and increased the naturalistic elements in Aristotle’s thought to such an extent that he denied the need for an active god to construct the universe, preferring to place the universe’s government in the unconscious force of nature alone.
