The [[Eleatics]], named after the south-western Italian coastal town of [[w:Velia|Elea]], are among the Pre-Socratics and formed the oldest philosophical school of Greek antiquity. Their main representative was [[Parmenides]], who saw the world as based on an eternally unchanging being, to which the world of the senses was merely a transient phenomenon. Other important representatives of the School of Elea were [[Zeno of Elea]] and [[Melissos of Samos]]. [[Xenophanes]], who was originally considered the founder of the school and the teacher of Parmenides, is no longer counted among the Eleatics according to current knowledge.
