Zeno of Elea
Zeno of Elea was a pre-Socratic Greek philosopher of Southern Italy and a member of the Eleatic School founded by Parmenides. Aristotle called him the inventor of the dialectic. He is best know for his paradoxes, which Bertrand Russell has described as "immeasurably subtle and profound". (Source and for more information -wikipedia)
