Raphael representing Anaximander (Roma, Museo Nazionale Romano). Probably Roman copy of an earlier Greek original. This is the only existing image of Anaximander from the ancient world.
Anaximander (/æˌnæksɪˈmændər/; Greek: ἈναξίμανδροςAnaximandros; c. 610 – c. 546 BC) was a Pre-SocraticGreek philosopher who lived in Miletus, a city of Ionia. He belonged to the Milesian school and learned the teachings of his master Thales. He succeeded him and became the second master of that school where he counted Anaximenes and Pythagoras amongst his pupils.
