Theophrastus is an ancient Greek philosopher and naturalist, historically known as Aristotle’s successor at the Lyceum and often called the Father of Botany for his botanical writings. Recent “news” about him would generally be scholarly updates, new translations, or discoveries related to his surviving works or fragments. For real-time updates, checking academic news outlets or library announcements is best.[2][6]

If you’re looking for the most current scholarly developments, consider these channels:
- University press releases or philosophy/history of science journals announcing new editions or critical commentaries on Historia Plantarum or De Causes Plantarum.[2]
- Updates from major reference works (e.g., Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, Britannica) that occasionally publish new essays or revisions about Theophrastus.[1][6]
- Recent translations or digitization projects of Theophrastus’ fragments and related doxography.[2]
Would you like me to pull the latest articles and provide direct links and brief summaries? I can also tailor search to a specific angle (botany, philosophy, historical context).[6][1]

But the mines continued to be worked, though Strabo (c. 64 BCE to c. 24 CE) records that in his time the tailings were being worked over, and Pausanias (c. 110 to c. 180) speaks of the mines as a thing of the past.
