Zeno’s Paradoxes refers to a set of ingenious philosophical problems attributed to Zeno of Elea, a pre-Socratic Greek philosopher. These paradoxes were devised in order to defend the teachings of Parmenides of Elea, whom Zeno followed. Parmenides, along with Zeno and Melissus of Samos, are grouped together as members of the Eleatic school of philosophy.
