Xenophanes

Xenophanes indeed, when one told him that he had seen eels living in hot water, answered, We will boil them then in cold.

"God is one supreme among gods and men, and not like mortals in body or in mind," says Xenophanes.

What Xenophanes says may at once be taken as the conviction of a Mystic.

He was thus subsequent to Xenophanes, contemporary with Parmenides, and older than Zeno.
