There were two famous people in history called Anaxagoras. In Greek mythology Anaxagoras was king of Argos. The king accidentaly injured a Dryad who then cursed the kings son with a sickness. The king then had to give away two thirds of his kingdom to a healer to cure his son. There was also Anaxagoras the philosopher who was one of the first to say that the laws of nature might be rational.
He paved the way of atomic theory; in his theory regarded material substance as an infinite multitude of imperishable primary elements, referring all generation and disappearance to mixture and separation respectively. Further he attempted to give a scientific account of eclipses, meteors, rainbows, and the sun, which he described as a fiery mass larger than the Peloponnese.

Was Anaxagoras a monist?
The ancient Greek philosopher Anaxagoras (circa 510-428 BC/BCE) was not a monist. Although his viewpoint seemed to include notions of the intermingling and basic unity of ordinary things, his doctrine of 'nous' (or, mind) as a separate force at work in reality is on its own an indicator that he did not see the world as monistic. Still more decisively, he also seemed intent on revising the monistic teachings of another ancient philosopher, Parmenides.
