'''Zeno''' was a [[Greek]] [[philosopher]] who lived between 334 and 261 B.C., and who founded [[Stoicism]] (remaining indifferent to emotions).
'''Zeno of Elea''' (ca 490 BC - ?) was a [[Greek]] [[philosopher]] and follower of [[Parmenides]] who devised a number of famous arguments (his Paradoxes) directed against the opponents of Parmenides.
Zeno formulated several mind-boggling questions, ''Zeno's paradoxes.'' They were a challenge to philosophers. For the most part, today they are considered to have been solved by the [[mathematics|mathematical]] concept known as the ''limit.''
