Anaximenes

Anaximenes regarded air as having life; Diogenes saw in it also intelligence.

Anaximenes, the disciple of Thales, pursued his master's inquiries and adopted his method.

Anaximenes, seeing that animals die without air, thought that air was the great primal cause.

He assumed a vital air in all living things, being in this influenced by Anaximenes whose primitive matter was infinite air.

Not merely Thales, but his followers and disciples, Anaximander and Anaximenes, were born there.
