	Anaxarchus - WCD (Wiki Classical Dictionary)
		Anaxarchus of Abdera, in Thrace (born c.380, fl.340-337) was one of the philosophers (of the school of Democtritus) who joined Alexander the Great's expedition.
		Anaxarchus' argument was based on the premise that, just as Zeus embodied justice in heaven, so the king embodied it on earth; hence, whatever the king did—even murder—was just.
		Anaxarchus wrote a treatise on kingship, although his purported doctrine of the king as 'living law' does not appear to have survived as part of the Hellenistic theory of kingship (ref. OCD).

	Anaxarchus
		Anaxarchus (flourished around 340 BC), a Greek philosopher of the school of Democritus, was born at Abdera in Thrace.
		Anaxarchus checked the vainglory of Alexander, when he aspired to the honours of divinity, by pointing to his wounded finger, saying, "See the blood of a mortal, not of a god."
		The story that at Bactra in 327 BC in a public speech he advised all to worship Alexander as a god even during his lifetime, is with greater probability attributed to the Sicilian Cleon.

	Anaxarchus [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		Apparently, Indian philosophers rebuked Anaxarchus for “fawning on kings,” and it was this rebuke that led Pyrrho to withdraw from worldly affairs.
		Anaxarchus was accused of abolishing the criterion of truth because he likened things to painted scenery and said they resemble the experiences of dreamers and madmen (Sextus Empiricus, Against the Professors 7 87-8).
		Anaxarchus is another member of this group: because of the unreliability of the senses, we are no better off than dreamers and madmen when it comes to our access to truths about the world, and so, there is no criterion whereby we can distinguish what is the case from what is not.

	Diogenes Laertius, Life of Anaxarchus, from Lives of the Philosophers, translated by C.D. Yonge
		Anaxarchus too enjoyed the intimacy of Alexander, and flourished about the hundred and tenth Olympiad, He had for an enemy Nicocreon, the tyrant of Cyprus.
		And Nicocreon did not forget his grudge against him for this; but after the death of the king, when Anaxarchus, who was making a voyage, was driven against his will into Cyprus, he took him and put him in a mortar, and commanded him to be pounded to death with iron pestles.
		Anaxarchus, on account of the evenness of his temper and the tranquillity of his life, was called the Happy.

	Alexander the Great
		Anaxarchus launched the topic, saying that Alexander had much better claims to be regarded as a god than Dionysus and Heracles [...].
		After Anaxarchus had spoken to this effect, those who were privy to the plan praised his words and wanted to begin doing obeisance to Alexander, but the majority of Macedonians were displeased and kept quiet.
		Alexander has more than justified the claim that he is and is seen to be the bravest of the brave, the most kingly of kings and the greatest of all generals.

	James Warren - Epicurus and Democritean Ethics: An Archaeology of Ataraxia - Reviewed by Tim O'Keefe, University of ...
		Anaxarchus and Pyrrho develop moral anti-realist positions, where values exist only âby conventionâ and not âin truth,â whereas Nausiphanes, the reviled teacher of Epicurus, does not deny the reality of values but reduces ethics to physics, claiming that knowledge of phusiologiaâ”natural scienceâ”is sufficient for knowledge of ethics, politics, and rhetoric.
		Anaxarchus may be drawing upon Democritusâ contention that none of the phenomenal qualities conveyed by the senses exist in truth.
		Anaxarchus replies that standing in fear of the censure and laws of men and being enslaved by empty opinion would be foolish.

	Scepticism - Lecture 4
		Anaxarchus was a Democritean philosopher, and a pupil of a pupil of Metrodorus of Chios.
		Anaxarchus was known as the ‘happy’ man because of his fortitude and contentment in life.
		Anaxarchus confronts Alexander with an opposite, counterbalancing way of looking at the murder he committed (one suggesting that what he did was right, not wrong) and restores his psychological equilibrium.

	Pyrrho (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
		There are, however, a couple of exceptions to this; as noted at the outset, Pyrrho was associated with Anaxarchus and was reported to have encountered some unnamed Indian thinkers.
		Diogenes Laertius (9.60) ascribes to him an attitude of apatheia and eukolia, ‘freedom from emotion’ and ‘contentedness’; apatheia is used in some sources to describe Pyrrho's attitude as well, and the combination of the two terms seems to describe something close to the state cultivated by Pyrrho.
		There is, however, no indication that Anaxarchus drew a connection between his view of the nature of things and his attitude of emotional contentment, such as we have seen that Pyrrho did.

	Abstracts of Papers
		Instead, the source of Anaxarchus' skepticism is the same as Democritus': the reports of the senses are systematically misleading, because they ascribe to objects properties (such as sweetness, bitterness, heat, and coldness) that the objects do not possess.
		Unlike Democritus, Anaxarchus extends his eliminativism regarding sensible properties in the external world to axiological properties: we take many things in the world as being by nature good or bad, but this is mistaken, as they are all equally indifferent.
		And like Pyrrho, Anaxarchus thinks that recognizing the indifference of things (as far as their value is concerned) is liberating and leads to happiness.

	James Warren - Ph.D. Thesis abstract (Site not responding. Last check: )
		It begins with a discussion of ancient successional lists and histories of philosophies, and identifies a particular succession of thinkers who were formed into a tradition already in antiquity: Democritus, Metrodorus of Chios, Anaxarchus, Pyrrho, Hecataeus, Nausiphanes, and Epicurus.
		The next chapter examines the ethical thought of Anaxarchus of Abdera, which is also built on an interpretation of Democritus' views.
		Chapter four argues that Pyrrho, like his mentor Anaxarchus, based his conduct on an elimination of moral qualities: nothing is good or bad 'in nature'.

		Anaxarchus would by no means allow this, but argued against it with some heat.
		Besides the envy which his great reputation raised, he also, by his own deportment, gave those who wished him ill opportunity to do him mischief.
