![]() Cosmos of the AncientsThe Greek Philosophers on Myth and CosmologyAnaximenes![]() The soul, too, is air, and that which keeps the body intact. Aëtios quotes him stating: As our soul, which is air, holds us together, so do breath and air surround the whole universe. Like the cosmos of Anaximander, that of his student is in little need of the gods. The universe works by its own machinery, creating and upholding everything within it – including the gods. This is an astronomical order in no need of outward influence. Literature Freeman, Kathleen, Ancilla to The Pre-Socratic Philosophers, Oxford 1952. Kahn, Charles H., Anaximander and the Origins of Greek Cosmology, New York 1960. © Stefan Stenudd 2000
