Well maybe, but a nice little article on the influence of Anaxagoras.

Very interesting. I wonder how many children In Primary Schools are taught, i.e. in a 'General Knowledge' sort of lesson or two, about Greek philosophers these days. If I was stil teaching, I'd read that article to my class It wouldn't take long and I can think of many children who would have been interested enough to find out more.
