| Milesian school | The Milesian school was a school of thought founded in the 6th Century BC. The ideas associated with it are exemplified by three philosophers from the Ionian town of Miletus, on the edge of Anatolia: Thales, Anaximander, and Anaximenes. They introduced new opinions contrary to the prevailing viewpoint on how the world was organized, in which natural phenomena were explained by the whims of anthropomorphized beings. The Milesians presented a view of nature in terms of methodologically observable entities, and as such was one of the first truly scientific philosophies. (references) | ||

| Milesian Fables | Literature | 1: The romances of Antonius Diogenes, described by Photius, but no longer extant. They were greedily read by the luxurious Sybarites, and appear to have been of a very coarse amatory character. They were complied by Aristides, and translated into Latin by Sisenna, about the time of the civil wars of Marius and Sylla. 2: The tales of Parthenius Nicenus were borrowed from them. The name is from the Milesians, a Greek colony, the first to catch from the Persians their rage for fiction, Parthenius taught Virgil Greek. 3: Or Tale (A). One very wanton and lubricious. So called from the Milesiae Fabulae, the immoral tendency of which was notorious. (See above.). Source: Brewer's Dictionary. | |
