83. Selinunte - Temple "B" (or Empedocles's) It is a hypothesis that this temple was dedicated to empedocles, This templeshould have been a thanksgiving to empedocles who had saved Selinus from http://www.centrocomp.it/castelvetrano/selinunte/templeb.html

It is a hypothesis that this temple was dedicated to Empedocles, the philosopher who expressed the theory of the transmigration of souls and discovered in himself the nature of a fish, because he swam magnificientiy, of a bird, as he ran quick as lightning, and, like his teacher Pythagoras, of a god. This temple should have been a thanksgiving to Empedocles who had saved Selinus from malaria. His biographers describe him so penetrated and convinced of his divine nature to ascribe these sentences to him: "I'm not a mortal anymore, but a god ! I wander about honoured by everybody because I deserve it. Beautiful, crowned with fillets and wonderful flowers, I wander about the most famous cities". As there are not certain elements to establish to whom the temple was consecrated, let's examine the technical aspect. It is a hellenistic "in antis" building, where four Ionic columns and a Doric entablature formed the eastern front. The temple is 8,45 m. long and 4,60 m. wide, covering an area of 38,87 square metres. CITY OF CASTELVETRANO - SELINUNTE (TP) E-Mail : cvetrano@centrocomp.it

Empedocles The Greek Elements (Empedocles) Empedocles, for example, argued that matter was made up of four primary substances: fire, air, earth, and water, which were indestructible, as Parmenides argued. But change was constant, as Heraclitus believed, because the elements were constantly being mixed or separated by the forces that acted on them: love (the force of attraction) and hate (the force of repulsion).

In his cosmology fire, air, water and earth mingle and separate under the compulsion of love and strife. He wrote a poetic treatise 'On Nature'. It contained ideas that anticipated the ideas of evolution, the circulation of the blood, and atmospheric pressure. www link : From the Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy Biographyy www link : From the University of St. Andrews, Scotland School of Mathematics Biography

90. Empedocles Posited A Cycle Of Creation That Alternated From Many To One With A W Its nature, moreover, can be deduced by examining empedocles sketch of the Beginning from the Many (the cosmogony that empedocles fails to depict), http://www.apaclassics.org/AnnualMeeting/04mtg/abstracts/galsworthy.html

Carrie GALSWORTHY Empedocles' Other Cosmogony This paper explores some of the difficulties in the reconstruction of Empedocles' cosmogonies. In particular, I discuss the nature of the cosmogony in the period of increasing Love within Empedocles' cycle of creation. Although he apparently did not describe this cosmogony explicitly, Empedocles' statement that there are two worlds of mortal things infers its existence. Its nature, moreover, can be deduced by examining Empedocles' sketch of the cosmogony of the world of mortal things in the period of increasing Strife and by taking into account the composition of the universe in the Many. The testimonia describe a cosmogony (DK 31A30, 31A49); this raises the question of whether this account applies to both worlds. Aristotle, moreover, states that Empedocles could not and therefore did not describe a cosmogony in the period of increasing Love (DK 31A42). This suggests that the extant cosmogony depicts the creation of the world in the phase of increasing Strife and has led, in part, to the proliferation of the theory that there was only one creation of mortal things in the cycle. The subsequent interpretations vary widely but are not consistent with the contents of the Strasbourg papyrus ( ensemble a (i)6-a(ii)2; cf. DK 31B21.7-12). Since two mortal worlds seem certain, this raises the questions discussed in this paper about the nature of this other cosmogony.

American Philological Association Home Administration Annual Meeting Awards ... Search apaclassics.org Dirk OBBINK New Fragments of Empedocles on Papyrus The Villa of the Papyri at Herculaneum and the sands of Egypt give up two ghosts: two new witnesses to the text of Empedocles. The first is an unpublished fragment of a second century AD papyrus roll from Oxyrhynchus, now in the Sackler (formerly Ashmolean) Library, Oxford. It contains Empedocles fr. B 88 ( mia gignetai amphoteron ops , part of a single line quoted by Aristotle Poet . 21 1458a4 and Strabo VIII p. 364 from Apollodorus of Athens), together with parts of several preceding and following lines (previously unattested). It must belong to an edition of Empedocles, and not to a text of a prose author quoting the passage (as shown by the disposition of the hexameter line on the papyrus). The context, significance and position of B 88 in Empedocles' poem are revealed through an analysis of the possibilities for reconstructing the surrounding lines, thereby expanding our text of B 88. The new fragment from Oxyrhynchus is now only our second surviving ancient MS of Empedocles' poem (after P.Strasb. gr. Inv. 1665-6), and of any Presocratic philosopher (Antiphon and Alcidamas notwithstanding).

Beginning next week, the classics department will offer an unusual look at this centuries-old (yet still fiercely contested) terrain, in a series of Sather Lectures by visiting scholar David Sedley of Cambridge University. A renowned and prolific scholar of ancient philosophy, Sedley plans, not surprisingly, to look back in time — back before the Big Bang theory, Darwin’s Origin of Species, and even the Church Fathers — to philosophers and physicians who began the West’s conversation about the origins of life, mostly in defense of creationism in some form. “Many Greeks recognized that the world is teeming with evidence of beneficial order,” he has written, “from the cycle of seasons down to the minutest details of individual life forms. How is this comprehensively ordered cosmic structure to be explained?”

Empedocles of Acragas 495-435 B.C. Empedocles introduced new physical, chemical, and biological insights to explain the nature of the universe through interaction of two governing principles, Love and Strife, on four primary elements. Empedocles proposed that there are four universal elements; air, fire, earth, and water. He argues that the quality of matter depends exclusively on the ratio of elements. Empedocles asserted that life was the consequence of an evolutionary process. He believed that Love agglomerated the four elements into the various bodily parts. These stray limbs rotated free until Love further unified them into bodily masses. Empedocles argued that some of these bodily forms were better suited for survival than others, resulting in the disappearance of monstrous beings and the evolution of modern life.

Home Ancient Greek Scientists AGRICULTURALISTS ARCHITECTS ... PHYSICISTS PHYSICIST, ENGINEER, PHYSICIAN, INVENTOR EMPEDOCLES OF ACRAGAS (fl. 495 - 435 BC) Life Son of the Olympic champion Meton, student of Xenophanes of Colophon, Anaxagoras of Clazomenae and Parmenides of Elea, Empedocles was a great naturalist who sought to construct a coherent theory of the physical world. He is cited by Diogenes Laertius, Plutarch, John Tsetses, Iamblichus and Vitruvius. Work Empedocles did not accept "coming-into-being" and "passing-away" in the strict sense of the words. Rather, in order to explain changes in matter he posited a cohesive elemental matter of which the entire world is composed, based on the four fundamental elements of fire, water, earth and air. In his theory, change was brought about by the action and interaction of two forces: "Love" (or attraction) and "Strife" (or repulsion). In the beginning, matter was "held together by Love in the form of a sphere". Then "Strife intervened to dissociate the elements, and whirlwinds and vortexes were produced". Empedocles, in other words, foreshadowed modern theories of nebulae, atoms and nuclei; he was also the first to formulate a corpuscular theory of matter. He invented a clepsydra based on water pressure and the difference in pressure in a void.
