Thales of Miletus: Founder of Ionian Philosophy
The text recounts Thales the Milesian philosopher born in the 35th Olympiad who studied Egypt’s sciences, traveled with priests, and pursued celestial observation. It notes his reticence, public-spirited mind, and choice of celibacy, with later tales of marriage to an Egyptian woman and his influence on early philosophy.
