	Pherecydes of Syros. Greek Philosophers on cosmology and myth
		Pherecydes says the principles are Zen and Chthonie and Cronus; Zen is the aither, Chthonie the earth and Cronus is time; the aither is that which acts, the earth is that which is acted upon, time is that in which events come to pass.
		Zen is Zeus, by Pherecydes spelled in many differing ways.
		Aristotle argued that Pherecydes, calling him a theologian, was mixing philosophical reasoning with myth, when stating that the god Zeus would be the original ruler.

	Diogenes Laertius Lives of the Philosophers: Pherecydes, translated by C.D. Yonge
		BY DIOGENES LAERTIUS, TRANSLATED BY C.D. PHERECYDES was a Syrian, the son of Babys, and, as Alexander says, in his Successions, he had been a pupil of Pittacus.
		But some writers say that he went to Delphi, and threw himself down from the Corycian hill; Aristoxenus, in his History of Pythagoras and his Friends, says that Pherecydes fell sick and died, and was buried by Pythagoras in Delos.
		But Andron, the Ephesian, says that there were two men of the name of Pherecydes, both Syrians: one an astronomer, and the other a writer on God and the Divine Nature; and that this last was the son of Babys, who was also the master of Pythagoras.

		It may just be mentioned that, according to a favourite tradition in antiquity, Pherecydes died of the lousy disease or Morbus Pediculosus ; though others tell us that he put an end to his life by throwing himself down from a rock at Delphi, and others again give other accounts of his death.
		It was written in prose, which he is said to have been the first to employ in the explanation of philosophical questions: others go even so far as to state that he was the first who wrote any thing in prose, but this honour, however, must be reserved for Cadmus of Miletus.
		He is called a Lerian from having been born in the island of Leros, and an Athenian from having spent the greater part of his life at Athens ; and it may be added that, except in Suidas, we find mention of only one historical writer of this name.
