AnaxaGoras of Klazomenae, son of Hegesiboulos, was born in the seventieth Olympiad (500-497) and died in the first year of the eighty-eighth Olympiad (428), according to the chronicles of Apollodoros. It is said that he neglected his possessions in his pursuit of philosophy ; he began to teach philosophy in the archon- ship of Kallias at Athens (480). The fall of a meteoric stone at Aegos Potamoi (467 or 469) influenced pro- foundly his views of~the heavenly bodies. Perikles brought him to Athens, and tradition says he remained there thirty years. His exile (434-432) was brought about by the enemies of Perikles, and he died at Lam- psakos. He wrote but one book, according to Diogenes, and the same authority says this was written in a pleasing and lofty style. Literature :—Schaubach, Anax. Claz. Frag. Lips. 1827; W. Schorn, Anaz.
