Psychastes (ψυχαστής) - one who cools themselves in the shade.

ἤδη γάρ ποτ᾽ ἐγὼ γενόμην κοῦρός τε κόρη τε,
θάμνος τ᾽, οἰωνός τε καὶ ἐξ ἁλὸς ἔμπυρος ἰχθῦς.

I frequently assess pages for quality and importance for WikiProject Philosophy, especially from the unknown-importance and unassessed categories. Please consult the talk page for assessment if you have any concerns with the standards being applied, or tag me on the relevant article talk page if you would like to discuss specifics for any article, I don't typically add most of the pages I rate to my watchlist.

My primary interest is Ancient Greek (and Roman) philosophy, from the Archaic period through Late antiquity.

Articles I've created: Diotogenes, Hierax (Platonist), Harpocration of Argos

Some articles I've contributed significantly to: Enheduanna, Pherecydes of Syros, Xenophanes, Parmenides, Empedocles, Antiochus of Ascalon

χαίρετ᾽: ἐγὼ δ᾽ ὔμμιν θεὸς ἄμβροτος, οὐκέτι θνητός,
πωλεῦμαι μετὰ πᾶσι τετιμένος, ὥσπερ ἔοικεν,
ταινίαις τε περίστεπτος στέφεσίν τε θαλείοις
