Philosophy, too, came to Athens in the age of Pericles. Anaxagoras of Clazomenae (near Izmir) was born about 500 BC and was thus about forty years older than Democritus. He came to Athens after the end of the Persian wars, and became a friend and associate of Pericles. He wrote a book on natural philosophy in the style of his Ionian predecessors, acknowledging a particular debt to Anaximenes; it was the first such treatise, we are told, to contain diagrams.
