Lucullus
Pre-Socratic Eleatic philosopher who held that being is infinite, unchangeable, and eternal.
Melissus, that which was infinite and unchangeable, and had been always and would be.
Helen
Philosopher named for arguing that the whole of infinite nature is one.
For how could one surpass Gorgias, who dared to assert that nothing exists of the things that are, or Zeno, who ventured to prove the same things as possible and again as impossible, or Melissus who, although things in nature are infinite in number, made it his task to find proofs that the whole is one!
