		The ignorant polytheism of the time could not tolerate such explanation, and the enemies of Pericles used the superstitions of their countrymen as a means of attacking him in the person of his friend.
		Anaxagoras was arrested on a charge of contravening the established dogmas of religion (some say the charge was one of Medism), and it required all the eloquence of Pericles to secure his acquittal.
		It is noteworthy that Aristotle accuses Anaxagoras of failing to differentiate between nous and psyche, while Socrates (Plato, Phaedo, 98 B) objects that his nous is merely a deus ex machina to which he refuses to attribute design and knowledge.

		Anaxagoras now says that it is not gods, sensuous principles, elements, or thoughts — which really are determinations of reflection — but that it is the Universal, Thought itself, in and for itself, without opposition, all embracing, which is the substance or the principle.
		Anaxagoras, himself a native of Asia Minor, lived in the important period between the war of the Medes and the age of Pericles, principally in Athens, which had now reached the zenith of its greatness, for it was both the head of Grecian power, and the seat and centre of the arts and sciences.
		But with Anaxagoras the determination of the fundamental principles appears to contain that which we consider as organized, and to be by no means an independently existent simple; thus perfectly individualized atoms such as particles of flesh and of gold, form, through their coming together, that which appears to be organized.

		Anaxagoras was born in the port city of Clazomenae in Ionia around 500 B.C., though almost nothing is known about his life or the order of happenings.
		Anaxagoras was not the first Greek to observe nature studiously, though he was an exceptionally careful scrutinizer of phenomena.
		Subsequent philosophers criticized Anaxagoras for describing mechanical processes to explain natural phenomena and for not invoking Mind, but Anaxagoras saw clearly that calling on Mind as the direct cause of everything explained nothing, and that the universality of Mind implies that all mechanical processes are expressions of dynamic Nous.

		Study of mythology is at the crossroad of a multitude of scientific disciplines: history; archaeology; linguistics; psychology; anthropology; sociology; philosophy; arts and literature.
		Anaxagoras (V B.C.) very candidly regarded the myths of divine transgressions, such as adultery, stealth, cruelty and deceit, as a sort of the negative example for the posterity, explaining exactly what one must not do.
		Anaxagoras worshipped the divine Mind (Nous) as the unifying force of the universe and thought of everything else as a mixture of different particles.

		Anaxagoras was originally from Klazomenae (Clazomenae) in Ionia but, at age 40, he went to Athens and became well known to Perikles (Pericles).
		Anaxagoras is credited with the concept of Dualism in which Mind and Matter are two different realms of reality; he is also credited with being the first man to explain the nature of solar eclipses.
		Anaxagoras was called Nous (Mind) because of his remarkable intellect; he taught that Necessity was the dominating force of the universe and that Chance was an antiquated, superstitious belief that had no logical basis or intellectual foundation.

		On the microscopic perspective he stated that there is no thing which is the smallest, since there can always be something smaller and no matter how small a part is, it cannot be cut away to nothing.
		Anaxagoras was tried in court, probably for declaring that the sun was a mass of red-hot metal, larger than Peloponnesus, and expelled from Athens, where he had lived for 30 years.

		CHAPTER IV Lithuanian mythology underwent its formation at the time when the active and belligerent tribes who were the ancestors of modern Lithuanians were distinguishing themselves from the bulk of the Baltic protonation, circa 500 AD.
		In the mythology of the Balts, Dangaus Dievas (God of the Sky) retains quite a few original Indo-European characteristics — he lives in heaven, is related to shining celestial bodies and is imagined as a light, radiant person deciding fates.
		In Baltic mythology Perkunas is linked both to a mountain — in Lithuanian mythology Perkunas lives on the top of a hill reaching the sky — and to oaks, growing in sacral places, or to sacred oak woods.

		The occurrence of analogies taken from the organic world is not absent even in the fragments ascribed to Democritus, that resolute champion of a rigidly mechanistic interpretation of nature.

		There seemed to be simply nothing that could not be reached by a physics that bore all the marks of an unsuspecting, youthful outburst of scientific speculation: from man's soul to the far reaches of the universe there was believed to be only one principle, which produced, governed, and explained everything.

		Anaxagoras’ universe, before separation, was an infinite, undifferentiated mass.
		Although Anaxagoras was the first to give mind a place in the universe, he was criticized by both Plato and Aristotle for only conceiving of it as a mechanical cause rather than the originator of order.

		We use them as the main beams in the scaffolding of thought, and because of their frequency, they have generated automatism of thought, such as the implicit belief that the fundamental is not only simpler than what derives from it, but it tends towards absolute simplicity.
		Anaxagoras clearly differentiates the microcosm -the elements and the seeds- from the macrocosms -the natural beings-.
		In his conception of macrocosm Anaxagoras accepts some points of the philosophy of Parmenides: the vacuum does not exist, so there is no generation or destruction, but composition and separation.

		Aether in Greek mythology is probably first mentioned by Hesiod as a figure of the Highest or Superior Heaven.

		This rejoins Anaxagoras when he wrestled the original concept of the Aether from Greek mythology.
