Discover the ancient Greek philosopher Empedocles, who popularized the idea of the four elements making up the world: fire, earth, air, and water.
Philosophizing shortly after Parmenides and Heraclitus, Empedocles attempts to synthesize all previous philosophy, from Thales to Heraclitus, and he settles on the idea of these four roots and the two forces of love and strife.
All that while claiming to be divine!

Very good introduction! Keep up the great work!

Although I cannot find the exact quote and reference, it was said in a review of the Mexican American war of 1846 that it would be portrayed as a Thermopylae, but would go down in history as a “Empedocles or herostratus” known for its crimes and folly’s on the United States part.

Heh, I hadn't heard of that quote before. Funny how Empedocle's escapades echo throughout history.
