Anaxagoras was the son of Argeos and Pyrante. He succeeded his father as King of Argos. He was the third Preotid King of Argos because his grandfather, Megapenthes, swapped the Kingdom of Mycenae for that of Argos. Anaxagoras had two children by his wife Hyrmine. His sons were Alector and Iphis. Both succeeded their father as king over his third. His grandson (through Ihpis) was Sthenelius, who inherited the Melampid third of Argos. Sthenelius' son Cylabares inherited the last third, reuniting Argos.

| - Anaxagoras was the son of Argeos and Pyrante. He succeeded his father as King of Argos. He was the third Preotid King of Argos because his grandfather, Megapenthes, swapped the Kingdom of Mycenae for that of Argos. Anaxagoras had two children by his wife Hyrmine.

- Anaxagoras postulated a plurality of independent elements which he called 'seeds'. They are the ultimate elements of combination and are indivisible, imperishable primordia of infinite number, and differing in shape, color, and taste. Later writers referred to the seeds as omoiomereia (from an expression of Aristotle), meaning particles of like kind with each other and with the whole that is made up of them. They were not, however, the 'four roots', fire, air, earth, and water popularized by Anaximenes; on the contrary, these were compounds.
