Aresas
A'resas
(Ἀρέσας), of Lucania, and probably of Croton, was at the head of the Pythagorean school, and the sixth in succession from Pythagoras. Some attribute to him a work "about Human Nature," of which a fragment is preserved by Stobaeus (Ecl i. p. 847, ed. Heeren); but others suppose it to have been written by Aesara. [Aesara.]
