Ariphron (Gr. Ἀρίφρων) was the name of several people from ancient Greek history:[1]
- Ariphron, the father of Xanthippus, and grandfather of Pericles, both prominent Athenian statesmen. He was a member of the Alcmaeonid family.[2][3]
- Ariphron, the brother of Pericles.[4]
- Ariphron of Sicyon, a Greek poet, and the author of a beautiful paean to health (Ἡγίεια), which has been preserved by Athenaeus.[5] The beginning of the poem is quoted by Lucian and Maximus of Tyre.[6][7] It is also printed in Bergk's Poetae Lyrici Graeci.[8]
