Grice ed Alcmeone

 ALMAEON OF CROTON (sixth/fifth century BC)

According to lamblichus of Chalcis, Almaeon was a pupil of Pythagoras. His main interest was in medicine, and he regarded health as a kind of internal balance. He studied perception and believed that the eye was connected with the brain, which was itself the centre of emotion and thought. According to Diogenes Laertius, he also wrote on physics, arguing that the soul is always in motion and the moon, planets and stars are eternal.
