About Lampsacus
Lampsacus was a Greek city on the eastern shore of the Hellespont (Dardanelles), in modern northwestern Turkey near Lapseki. The pre-Socratic philosopher Anaxagoras spent his final years and died there. It was also a stronghold of Epicureanism: Epicurus taught at Lampsacus before moving to Athens, and his close associate Metrodorus was a native of the city. The Peripatetic Strato of Lampsacus, later head of Aristotle's Lyceum, was also born there.
