	Milesians (Irish) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In Irish mythology the Milesians or Sons of Míl Espáine were the final inhabitants of Ireland, representing the Goidelic Celts.
		O'Rahilly the descent of the kings of Ireland from the sons of Míl is a fiction intended to provide legitimacy for the Goidels, who invaded Ireland in the 1st or 2nd century BC, giving them the same ancient origin as the indigenous peoples they dominated.
		Geoffrey Keating's Foras Feasa ar Eirinn (written c.1634) used the myth to promote the legitimacy of the Stuart claim to royal authority in Ireland (related to the origin of the Lia Fáil), demonstrating that Charles I was descended, through Brian Ború, Éber and Galamh, from Noah and, ultimately, from Adam.

	The Milesians
		The Milesians assume that the material principle of all things is that which underlies all change, and, as such, is itself necessarily unchanging.
		Thus for the Milesians, the material principle of all things is the most basic substratum that grounds all change, and does not itself change.
		This conclusion, however, puts the Milesian philosophers at variance with the testimony of their senses, which dictate that Being (what is) is many and constantly changing; in other words, this puts them in contradiction with the world of common sense.

		Peace fell upon the land then, and the happiness of the Milesians was only broken when, after a year, Eber's wife discovered that she must be possessed of the three most pleasant hills in Éirinn, or else she could not remain another night on the Island.

	Thales of Miletus [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		Within living memory, older Milesians had witnessed the island of Lade increasing in size within the Gulf, and the river banks encroaching into the river to such an extent that at Priene, across the gulf from Miletus the warehouses had to be rebuilt closer to the water's edge.
		His two fellow Milesians who also engaged in the new questioning approach to the understanding of the universe, were Anaximander, his disciple (D.L. I.13), and Anaximenes, who was the disciple of Anaximander (D.L. Anaximander was about ten years younger than Thales, but survived him by only a year, dying in about 545.
		Through their association they comprised the Milesian School: They all worked on similar problems, the nature of matter and the nature of change, but they each proposed a different material as the primary principle, which indicates that there was no necessity to follow the master's teachings or attribute their discoveries to him.

		A common project undertaken by all three of the Milesians was an attempt at explaining the world; why and how it came to be and what laws and principles govern its workings.
		In it there are several parallels to themes that occur in the teachings of the Milesians, including the earth originating as a “desolate waste,” there being “a firmament in the middle of the waters” and there being a division of this firmament into dry land and sky.
		Next it was stressed that most of the Milesians’ ideas are missing; they are known to us only in pieces – either as fragments of the Milesians’ own authoring, or as testimony from subsequent scribes, called doxographers, who reported on what they thought the Milesians said.

		The Milesians mark the birth of mechanism in the West, as well as what might persuasively be called a scientific outlook.

	M & D Chapter 4
		After the new picture of the world of the Milesians had set in people began to reflect on it in greater depth, trying to situate persons within this new picture; the problem of the human condition needed to be formulated in new ways.
		It required greater abstraction than the Milesians had offered, and this greater abstraction gave rise to metaphysics, the study of the nature or essence of reality (as distinct from science).
		Milesian monism is the view that some one material stuff undergoes change to become all we see, and Heraclitus picks up on this but emphasizes that the universe not only contains change but is itself in constant change; it is change to its core.

		The reason that he did not demolish their buildings was that the inhabitants might be tempted to use them as homesteads from which to go forth to sow and till their lands; and so each time that he invaded the country he might find something to plunder.
		In this way he carried on the war with the Milesians for eleven years, in the course of which he inflicted on them two terrible blows; one in their own country in the district of Limeneium, the other in the plain of the Maeander.
		He had all the corn that was in the city, whether belonging to himself or to private persons, brought into the market-place, and issued an order that the Milesians should hold themselves in readiness, and, when he gave the signal, should, one and all, fall to drinking and revelry.
