Description

Explore the origins of Early Skepticism through this specialized study of Timon of Phlius. As the philosopher who introduced Pyrrho of Elis to the world in the third century BCE, Timon's work is essential for understanding the roots of Pyrrhonism. This volume represents the first book-length study in English dedicated to the surviving fragments of Timon's writings. This scholarly work examines the remains of his extensive body of work, including the four fragments of the catalogue elegy, the Indalmoi, and the 133 verses of the Silloi. The Silloi is a unique hexameter parody consisting of three books where Timon uses satire to ridicule philosophers from various periods during a journey to Hades. Authored by Dee L. Clayman, this text reconstructs the books of the Silloi using outlines from Diogenes Laertius. It provides a deep look into ancient literature and history, making it a valuable resource for students and researchers of ancient civilization and Greek philosophy.
