Cosmos of the Ancients![]() The Greek Philosophers on Myth and CosmologyAnaximenes![]()
![]()
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.
