Greek philosopher who believed that the
cosmos is in a ceaseless state of flux and
motion, fire being the fundamental material
that accounts for all change and motion in
the world. Nothing in the world ever stays
the same, hence the dictum, `one cannot step
in the same river twice'. Wisdom came from
understanding this eternal dynamic, which
unified the diversity of nature, as he wrote
in On Nature. Heraclitus was born in Ephesus.
