Anaxagoras, reportedly the first Presocratic philosopher to come to Athens, was born in Klazomenai in 499/8 bce . The evidence for his life and work is to be found in a confused biographical sketch by Diogenes Laertius (DK 59 A 1). According to the most thorough modern treatment (Mansfeld 1990), Anaxagoras arrived in Athens in 457/6 and stayed there for twenty years, until he was charged with impiety and banished from the city (Plut. Per . 32). He retreated to Lampsakos, where he died in 428/7.
