Title:
Greece / Turkey: The Greek philosopher Heraclitus weeping (c. 535-475 BCE). Engraving,18th century
Caption:
Heraclitus of Ephesus was a pre-Socratic Greek philosopher, a native of the Greek city Ephesus, Ionia, on the coast of Asia Minor. He was of distinguished parentage. Little is known about his early life and education, but he regarded himself as self-taught and a pioneer of wisdom.
. From the lonely life he led, and still more from the paradoxical nature of his philosophy and his stress upon the needless unconsciousness of humankind, he was called 'The Obscure' and the 'Weeping Philosopher'.
