Boethus Of Sidon
Boethus of Sidon ( grc-gre, Βόηθος, Bóēthos; – ) was a Peripatetic philosopher from Sidon, who lived towards the end of the 1st century BC.

Strabo, who mentions him and his brother Diodotus among the celebrated persons of Sidon, speaks of him at the same time as his own teacher (or fellow pupil) in Peripatetic philosophy.

Diogenes Laërtius, vii. 148 He argued that the world was eternal, in particular, he rejected the Stoic conflagration ('' ekpyrosis'') because god or the World-Soul would be inactive during it, whereas it exercises Divine Providence in the actual world. Among his works was one ''On Nature'', and one ''On Fate''. He wrote a commentary on the works of Aratus in at least four volumes.Geminus Geminus of Rhodes ( el, Γεμῖνος ὁ Ῥόδιος), was a Greek astronomer and mathematician, who flourished in the 1st century BC.
