	Zeno (emperor) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Zeno was compelled to shut himself up in a fortress and spent the next 20 months raising an army, largely made up of fellow Isaurians, and marched on Constantinople in August 476.
		Zeno got rid of the problem in 487 by inducing him to invade Italy to fight Odoacer and establish his new kingdom there, all but eliminating the German presence in the east.
		Zeno is described as a lax and indolent ruler, but he seems to have husbanded the resources of the empire so as to leave it appreciably stronger at his death.

	Zeno of Citium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Zeno of Citium (The Stoic) (333 BC-264 BC) was a Hellenistic philosopher from Citium, Cyprus.

	Zeno of Elea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Zeno of Elea should not be confused with Zeno of Citium.
		Although written nearly a century after Zeno's death, the primary source of biographical information of Zeno is the dialogue of Plato called the Parmenides [1].
		Zeno's arguments are perhaps the first examples of a method of proof called Reductio ad absurdum also known as proof by contradiction.

	Zeno's paradoxes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Zeno's paradoxes are a set of paradoxes devised by Zeno of Elea to support Parmenides' doctrine that "all is one" and that contrary to the evidence of our senses, the belief in plurality and change is mistaken, and in particular that motion is nothing but an illusion.
		Several of Zeno's eight surviving paradoxes (preserved in Aristotle's Physics and Simplicius's commentary thereon) are essentially equivalent to one another; and most of them were regarded, even in ancient times, as very easy to refute.
		Zeno's paradoxes were a major problem for ancient and medieval philosophers, who found most proposed solutions somewhat unsatisfactory.

		In the following year, in consequence of a revolt fomented by Verina in favor of her brother Basiliscus, and the antipathy to his Isaurian soldiers and administrators, he was compelled to take refuge in Isauria, where, after sustaining a defeat, he was compelled to shut himself up in a fortress.
		Zeno is described as a lax and indolent ruler, but he seems to have husbanded tile resources of the empire so as to leave it appreciably stronger at his death.
		In ecclesiastical history the name of Zeno is associated with the Henoticon or instrument of union, promulgated by him and signed by all the Eastern bishops, with the design of terminating the Monophysite controversy.

		Zeno was an Eleatic philosopher, a native of Elea (Velia) in Italy, son of Teleutagoras, and the favorite disciple of Parmenides.
		Zeno is said to have taken part in the legislation of Parmenides, to the maintenance of which the citizens of Elea had pledged themselves every year by oath.
		Zeno showed that the common sense notion of reality leads to consequences at least as paradoxical as his master's.

	Phoenician Zeno of Citium
		None of Zeno's works have survived; all we know of him is contained in a few quotations and anecdotes in the works of his followers and critics.
		Zeno was born in 333 B.C. in Citium, a principal Phoenician city in Cyprus, situated on the southeast coast near modern Larnaca.
		Zeno was overly conscious of social propriety (a habit which he always found hard to shake, despite his anarchistic views), and Crates attempted to cure this by making him carry a pot of lentils through the streets of Athens.

		Zeno was a pupil and friend of the philosopher Parmenides and studied with him in Elea.
		Zeno had already written a work on philosophy before his visit to Athens and Plato reports that Zeno's book meant that he had achieved a certain fame in Athens before his visit there.
		Zeno bases both the dichotomy paradox and the attack on simple pluralism on the fact that once a thing is divisible, then it is infinitely divisible.

	Zeno's Paradoxes
		Second, from this Zeno argues that it follows that they do not exist at all; since the result of joining (or removing) a sizeless object to anything is no change at all, he concludes that the thing added (or removed) is literally nothing.
		Thus we answer Zeno as follows: the argument assumed that the size of the body was a sum of the sizes of the point parts, but that is not the case; according to modern mathematics, a line is an uncountable infinity of points plus a distance function.
		Zeno abolishes motion, saying "What is in motion moves neither in the place it is nor in one in which it is not".

	The Internet Classics Archive \| Parmenides by Plato
		Zeno was nearly 40 years of age, tall and fair to look upon; in the days of his youth he was reported to have been beloved by Parmenides.
		These Zeno himself read to them in the absence of Parmenides, and had very nearly finished when Pythodorus entered, and with him Parmenides and Aristoteles who was afterwards one of the Thirty, and heard the little that remained of the dialogue.
		That which you heard Zeno practising; at the same time, I give you credit for saying to him that you did not care to examine the perplexity in reference to visible things, or to consider the question that way; but only in reference to objects of thought, and to what may be called ideas.

	Math Forum: Zeno's Paradox
		The great Greek philosopher Zeno of Elea (born sometime between 495 and 480 B.C.) proposed four paradoxes in an effort to challenge the accepted notions of space and time that he encountered in various philosophical circles.
		Zeno's paradoxes focus on the relation of the discrete to the continuous, an issue that is at the very heart of mathematics.
		Zeno's first paradox attacks the notion held by many philosophers of his day that space was infinitely divisible, and that motion was therefore continuous.

		Zeno's paradoxes have been a source of inspiration and bewilderment for almost two and a half thousand years.
		Of all Zeno's paradoxes, the most renown, or at least the most familiar, are his paradoxes of motion.
		According to Plato, Zeno confesses, in response to the dogged questioning of the latter's young Socrates, to have composed in his collection of paradoxes of plurality simply in defense of Parmenides, who had been coming under heavy ridicule for his position regarding the one.

		Zeno of Elea, born approximately 490-485 BC, was a follower of Parmenides, said to be his favorite.
		Zeno is most well-known for his four paradoxes of motion, which argue against the possibility of motion as we see it.
		Each of Zeno's paradoxes can be explained in some way by more modern concepts of thought and motion, and they have been further explained and analysed from Aristotle's time to the modern day.

	Zeno of Cittium: founder of Stoicism.
		The school was founded by Zeno of Cittium in Cyprus, one of antiquity's boldest yet least known thinkers.
		He is not to be confused with Zeno of Elea, who earned far greater fame from a handful of paradoxes, designed to prove true by logic what everyone, from experience, knows to be false: that motion and change are impossible.
		Zeno seems to have been quite old when he himself began teaching to small groups, in a painted colonnade on the Athenian agora known as the Stoa Poikile.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Zeno of Elea
		Zeno's contribution to the literature of the school consisted of a treatise, now lost, in which, according to Plato, he argued indirectly against the reality of motion and the existence of the manifold.
		Aristotle in his "Physics" has preserved the arguments by which Zeno tried to prove that motion is only apparent, or that real motion is an absurdity.
		They earned for Zeno the title of "the first dialectician," and, because they seemed to be an unanswerable challenge to those who relied on the verdict of the senses, they helped to prepare the way for the skepticism of the Sophists.

	Mathematical mysteries: Zeno's Paradoxes
		Zeno, born approximately 490 BC in southern Italy, have puzzled mathematicians, scientists and philosophers for millennia.
		Zeno's argument is based on the assumption that you can infinitely divide space (the race track) and time (how long it takes to run).
		Arrow, Zeno also shows that the assumption that the universe consists of finite, indivisible elements is apparently incorrect.

	Zeno's Paradox
		The four Paradoxes of Zeno, which attempt to show that motion is impossible, are most conveniently treated as two pairs of paradoxes.
		Zeno, it seems, believed quite seriously that motion did not exist and that arguments such as these established it.
		Further, this reply seems to miss the point of Zeno's argument: simply pointing out that there is a branch of mathematics that deals with the infinite does not reduce the puzzling aspects of the Paradoxes.

		Aristotle assumed that (b) was what Zeno intended (and he based his refutation on that assumption).

	[No title]
		Zeno of Citium (not to be confused with Zeno of Elias) was the founder of the Stoic school of philosophy, which (along with its rival, Epicureanism) came to dominate the thinking of the Hellenistic world, and later, the Roman Empire, with some elements of Stoic thought even influencing early Christianity.
		Zeno was born in 333 B.C. in the town of Citium, a Greek colony which also had a large Phoenician population; Zeno himself may well have had Phoenician ancestry.
		For most of his youth he was a merchant, but, so the story has it, at the age of thirty, he was shipwrecked while transporting purple dye from Phoenicia to Peiraeus.
