I leave you 11 quotes of Empedocles , Greek philosopher and politician who postulated the theory of the four roots.
As curiosity, there are several theories of the death of Empedocles:
One says that Empedocles, at the age of sixty, thought that throwing himself into a volcano would become a god, and he did.
Another legend tells that Empedocles was thrown to the volcano so that the people thought that its body had faded and had become God. However, according to this legend, he dropped his bronze sandal, revealing that it was not.
Finally, the theory that seems more plausible, affirms that the philosopher was infected of a plague that underwent Athens, dying in the 430 before Christ.
