Greek Mythology > People, Places, & Things > Heraklitus

A Greek poet and philosopher from Ephesus circa 540-480 BCE; known as Heraklitus the Obscure, his work comes down to us in fragments, mostly from short quotes cited by other authors such as Plato.
Heraklitus believed in the concept of perpetual change in all things; he believed that the only abiding permanent feature of reality was the Logos, or orderly principle, according to which all change takes place.
For the complete collection of his extant poems I suggest the book “7 Greeks” by Guy Davenport (ISBN 0811212882); this book can be found at your library in section 881 or you can order this book through the Book Shop on this site which is linked to Amazon.com.
