Herminus (Greek:Ἑρμῖνος; 2nd century) was aPeripatetic philosopher. He lived in the first half of the 2nd century.^[1] He appears to have written commentaries on most of the works ofAristotle.Simplicius^[2] says he was the teacher ofAlexander of Aphrodisias. We learn from Alexander's commentary on thePrior Analytics that Herminus had worked on Aristotle'ssyllogistic system, adding innovations which Alexander disapproved of.^[3] His writings, of which nothing remains, are frequently referred to byBoethius, who mentions a treatise by him,On Interpretation (Greek:περὶ Ἑρμηνείας), as alsoAnalytics andTopics.

AStoic philosopher called Herminus is mentioned byLonginus in the preface to his bookOn Ends. This Herminus had been a teacher when Longinus was young (c. 230).^[4]
