Theophrastos found Leukippos described as an Eleate in some of his authorities, and, if we may trust analogy, that means he had settled at Elea.[926] It is possible that his emigration to the west was connected with the revolution at Miletos in 450-49 B.C.[927] In any case, Theophrastos says distinctly that he had been a member of the school of Parmenides, and the way in which he speaks suggests that the founder of that school was still at its head.[928] He may very well have been so, if we accept Plato’s chronology.[929] Theophrastos also appears to have said that Leukippos “heard” Zeno, which is very credible. We shall see, at any rate, that the influence of Zeno on his thinking is unmistakable.[930] Footnote 926: See above, p. 380, _n._ 921. Footnote 927: The aristocrats had massacred the democrats, and were overthrown in their turn by the Athenians. Cf. [Xen.] Ἀθ. πολ. 3, 11. The date is fixed by _C.I.A._ i. 22 a. Footnote 928: Theophr. _ap._ Simpl. _Phys._ p. 28, 4 (R. P. 185). Note the difference of case in κοινωνήσας Παρμενίδῃ τῆς φιλοσοφίας and κοινωνήσας τῆς Ἀναξιμένους φιλοσοφίας which is the phrase used by Theophrastos of Anaxagoras (p. 293, _n._ 660). The dative seems to imply a personal relationship. It is quite inadmissible to render “was familiar with the doctrine of Parmenides,” as is done in Gomperz, _Greek Thinkers_, vol. i. p. 345. Footnote 929: See § 84. Footnote 930: Cf. Diog. ix. 30, οὕτος ἤκουσε Ζήνωνος (R. P. 185 b); and Hipp. _Ref._ i. 12, 1, Λεύκιππος ... Ζήνωνος ἑταῖρος. Diels conjectured that the name of Zeno had been dropped in the extract from Theophrastos preserved by Simplicius (_Dox._ 483 a 11).
