    On the Nature of the GodsHellenistic · Latin

    Early Greek philosopher who held air to be god.

    After him Anaximenes set up air as god, and held it to be generated, and boundless and infinite, and ever in motion — as though air without any shape could be a god (especially since it becomes a god not merely to have some shape but the fairest), or as though all that has had a beginning were not followed by mortality.

    Against EubulidesClassical · Greek

    An alien who, along with Nicostratus, allegedly bribed Eubulides and his associates to be admitted to the citizen rolls.

    Comparison of Demosthenes and CiceroImperial · Greek

    Sophist and rhetorician with whom Cicero is said to have impetuously vied in praising his own speeches.

    And at last he praises not only his deeds and actions, but also his speeches, both those which he delivered himself and those which he committed to writing, as if he were impetuously vying with Isocrates and Anaximenes the sophists, instead of claiming the right to lead and instruct the Roman people, Steadfast, in heavy armour clad, destructive to foes.

    De AnimaLate Antiquity · Latin

    Pre-Socratic philosopher who held air to be the fundamental substance, including of the soul.

    — not that air is its very substance (although this seemed so to Aenesidemus and Anaximenes, and, I think, according to some, to Heraclitus too), nor that it is light (although this pleased Heraclides of Pontus).
