Antipater (astrologer)

Antipater (Ancient Greek: Ἀντίπατρος) was an astrologer or mathematician of ancient Greece of uncertain date. He wrote a work upon genethlialogia, in which he endeavored to explain man's fate, not from the circumstances under which he was born, but from those under which he had been conceived.^[1] Nothing further is known of his life.^[2]
