The anchovy which is found in the sea at Athens, men despise on account of its abundance and say that it is a poor man’s fish; but in other cities, they prize it above everything, even where it is far inferior to the Attic anchovy

Chrysippus

Chryssipus was the pupil of Cleanthes and the glue that held Stoicism together. He was considered one of the brightest minds of his time. Chryssipus is responsible for consolidating and elaborating the teachings of Zeno and Cleanthes into the Stoic system that would survive for over two thousand years. The historian Diogenes said, without Chryssipus, there would be no Stoicism.
