Strato of Lampsacus - Definition and Overview

Strato of Lampsacus (died ca. 268 B.C.) was an ancient Greek physicist and the third director of the Lyceum. He expanded on Aristotle's physics, noticing that falling objects (e.g. rainwater off a roof) accelerate as they reach the ground rather than falling at a steady rate as Aristotle foretold. One of his students was Aristarchus.
