Zeno of Elea

Zeno of Elea (c. 490 – c. 430 BCE) was a pre-Socratic Greek philosopher known for his paradoxes, challenging notions of motion and infinity. A disciple of Parmenides, Zeno's philosophical puzzles, such as the Dichotomy and Achilles and the Tortoise, explored the concept that motion and change are illusions. Despite limited surviving works, Zeno's contributions have had a profound impact on the philosophy of mathematics and the understanding of space and time.
