Theophrastus

Theophrastus (c. 371 – c. 287 BC), a Greek native of Eresos in Lesbos, was the successor to Aristotle in the Peripatetic school. His given name was Tyrtamus (Τύρταμος); his nickname Θεόφραστος (or ‘godly phrased’) was given by Aristotle, his teacher, for his ‘divine style of expression’. (Wikipedia)
