Although Aristo was, according to Cicero,[2] a man of taste and elegance, he was deficient in gravity and energy, which prevented his writings from acquiring the popularity they otherwise deserved.
Judging from the scant extant fragments, his philosophical views seem to have followed his master Lyco pretty closely.
At any rate, one of those works, Conversations on Love, is repeatedly ascribed to Aristo of Ceos by Athenaeus.
[4] One work of Aristo not mentioned by Diogenes Laërtius was entitled Lyco[5] in gratitude to his master.
There are also two epigrams in the Greek Anthology[6] which are commonly attributed to Aristo of Ceos, though there is no evidence for the validity of their authorship.
