From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Anaximander (Ancient Greek: Ἀναξίμανδρος) (c.610 BC – c. 546 BC), also known as Aniximander, was the second of the physical philosophers of Ionia, a citizen of Miletus, a companion or pupil of Thales, and teacher of Anaximenes of Miletus.

Ancient sources represent him as a successful student of astronomy and geography, and an early proponent of exact science. He has also been said to have introduced such astronomical instruments as the sundial and the gnomon to ancient Greece^[1]. Furthermore, he is credited with having created the first map of the world, which was circular in form and showed the known lands of the world grouped around the Aegean Sea at the center and all of this was surrounded by the ocean.

The Anaximander crater on the Moon was named in his honour.

[edit] Life and times

Little is known of his life and work. From computations based on an entry of the chronicler, Apollodorus of Athens, and brief mention by Hippolytus of Rome, his birth can be placed fairly precisely at 610 BCE, and his death to shortly after 546 BCE.^[2] He was the son of Praxiades.

Claudius Aelianus makes him the leader of the Milesian colony to Apollonia on the Black Sea coast, and hence some have inferred that he was a prominent citizen.

This is you know what?^[3] But will it pass the second test?^[3]

[edit] Notes

1. ^ Diogenes Laertius - Anaximander
2. ^ The chronicles of Apollodorus exist now only in fragments reported by someone else, but they were read by Diogenes Laertius, who reported in his very short treatise on Anaximander that Apollodorus said he was 64 in the 2nd year of the 58th Olympiad (547/546 BCE) and that he died shortly after. Hippolytus in Refutation of All Heresies I.6 says that he was born in the 3nd year of the 42nd Olympiad (610/609 BCE).
3. ^ ^{a b} Of course a test

"I am the ruler who shepherds you ... as a father, who preserves his children, while ye fear like birds ... [Shall the land be wa]sted and forsaken at the invasion of every country, while the Nine Bows plunder its borders and rebels invade it every day? ... They spend their time going about the land, fighting, to fill their bodies daily. They come to the land of Egypt to seek the necessities of their mouths ... Their chief is like a dog, a man of boasting without courage ...."
