He was supposed to have borne Democritus a grudge because he had failed to get into communication with him.In ix. 34, 35 the statement that Democritus was hostile to Anaxagoras and criticized his doctrines is ascribed to Favorinus, and, as the motive alleged is similar, Favorinus may also be the source of the statement of ii. 14. At length he retired to Lampsacus and there died. And when the magistrates of the city asked if there was anything he would like done for him, he replied that he would like them to grant an annual holiday to the boys in the month in which he died; and the custom is kept up to this day.

So, when he died, the people of Lampsacus gave him honourable burial and placed over his grave the following inscriptionAnth. Pal. vii. 94.: Here Anaxagoras, who in his quest Of truth scaled heaven itself, is laid to rest.

I also have written an epigram upon himAnth. Pal. vii. 95.: The sun’s a molten mass, Quoth Anaxagoras; This is his crime, his life must pay the price. Pericles from that fate Rescued his friend too late; His spirit crushed, by his own hand he dies.

There have been three other men who bore the name of Anaxagoras [of whom no other writer gives a complete list]. The first was a rhetorician of the school of Isocrates; the second a sculptor, mentioned by Antigonus; the third a grammarian, pupil of Zenodotus.
