===Later reception=== Chrysippus came to be renowned as one of the foremost logicians of ancient Greece. When [[Clement of Alexandria]] wanted to mention one who was master among logicians, as [[Homer]] was master among [[poet]]s, it was Chrysippus, not Aristotle, he chose.<ref>[[Clement of Alexandria]], ''Stromata'', vii. 16</ref> [[Diogenes Laërtius]] wrote: "If the gods use [[dialectic]], they would use none other than that of Chrysippus."<ref>Diogenes Laërtius, vii. 180.</ref> The logical work by Chrysippus came to be neglected and forgotten. Aristotle's logic prevailed, partly because it was seen as more practical, and partly because it was taken up by the [[Neoplatonists]].<ref name="sharples26"/> As recently as the 19th century, Stoic logic was treated with contempt, a barren formulaic system, which was merely clothing the logic of Aristotle with new terminology.<ref name="otoole403">{{Harvnb|O'Toole|Jennings|2004|p=403}}</ref> It was not until the 20th century, with the advances in logic, and the modern [[propositional calculus]], that it became clear that Stoic logic constituted a significant achievement.<ref name="johansen466"/>
