Explanation: Anaxagoras was a pre-Socratic Greek philosopher from Clazomenae, Ionia. He is known for his cosmological theory that the universe was composed of an infinite number of 'seeds' (homoeomeries) and that 'Nous' (mind or intellect) was the ordering principle that set these seeds into motion. He also famously claimed that the sun was a fiery mass and the moon was made of earth, which led to charges of impiety in Athens.
