Parmenides (fl. early Fifth Century B.C.)

Parmenides (pär-men’i-dēz). A celebrated Greek philosopher of the fifth century B.C.; born at Elea in Southern Italy. He wrote but one work on philosophy,—a didactic poem in the epic metre and in the Ionic dialect, entitled ‘On Nature’; fragments of it, in all about 160 lines, have come down to our times. It was divided into three sections, ‘Proem,’ ‘Truth,’ ‘Opinion.’ (See Critical and Biographical Introduction).
