Xenophanes  

Definición

  • Xenophanes was a Greek Presocratic philosopher, poet, rhapsode, and social and religious critic. Born circa 570 BC in the Ionian city of Colophon, Xenophanes spent a long life of “traveling counselor” and wanderer about the western Greek provinces, mainly in Sicily, once for a time associated with Elea on the Italian southwest coast, where he reputedly became the precursor or perhaps even the founder of the Eleatic school of philosophy with his famous student Parmenides.
