Acumenus (Greek: Ἀκουμενός) was a physician of Athens who lived in the 5th century BC, and is mentioned as the friend and companion of Socrates.[1][2] He was the father of Eryximachus, who was also a physician, and who is introduced as one of the speakers in Plato's Symposium.[3][4] He is also mentioned in the collection of letters first published by Leo Allatius in 1637 (Epist. Socralis et Socraticorum), and again by Orellius in 1815.[5]
