Teofrasto de Eresos

philosopher Greece

Teofrasto de Eresos was an ancient Greek philosopher and naturalist, often regarded as the 'father of botany.' He was a student of Aristotle and made significant contributions to the understanding of plant biology and classification. His works, particularly 'Enquiry into Plants,' laid the groundwork for future botanical studies and emphasized the importance of observation in the study of nature. Teofrasto's insights into the natural world included the fascinating belief that truffles were the 'sperm of Zeus,' reflecting the interplay between mythology and early scientific thought.
