	Ultimately, though, Antigonus became most associated with the Stoics. [[Zeno of Citium]] studied under both the Megarians and Cynics before founding the Stoic school and he became particularly associated with Antigonus.

Zeno at this time was too sickly and frail to travel so instead he sent two of his best students [[Persaeus]] and Philonides the Theban, who subsequently lived with Antigonus.

	While Persaeus was at Antigonus' court, Antigonus once, wishing to make trial of him, caused some false news to be brought to him that his estate had been ravaged by the enemy, and as his countenance fell, "Do you see," said he, "that wealth is not a matter of indifference?"<ref>Diogenes Laertius, ''Lives of the Eminent Philosophers'' 7.1.36</ref> Persaeus subsequently became an important figure at the Macedonian court.
