Python of Aenus ( /ˈpaɪθɒn, ən/; Greek: Πύθων Αἴνιος; fl. 4th-century BCE) was a Greek philosopher and a former student of Plato. [1] Around 360 BC, he and his brother Heraclides assassinated Cotys I, the ruler of Thrace. [2]
Based on Demosthenes's Against Aristocrates, Python of Aenus was identified as Python of Byzantium, a Greek statesman. However, it is highly unlikely that both names are attributed to the same person. [3]
