The Greeks were familiar with the idea of immortality and the Homeric Gods, but Anaximander

included two features to conceptualize divinity. Apeiron is described as “phusis” or “nature.” This

theory coincides to Aristotle’s ideals, emphasizing that divinity that arises when there is continuity to

creation;

“The belief that there is something Boundless stems from the idea that only then genesis and decay

will never stop, when that from which is taken what has been generated, is boundless”

​ - (Physics 203B18-20)

In this statement, Boundlessness is given a characteristic of playing inexhaustibly infinite in process.

The universe ultimately is given that characteristic - an ongoing medium that cannot be created,

seen, or destroyed, but is utilized to introduce what is found in Nature. This theory was proposed

during the time when Anaximander disregarded his teacher’s teaching of Arche, and idealized that

water is one of the substances that are not to undergo to make other substances - fire and earth, for

instance - therein is not an element that could conclude its ability to create due to it differing

properties. Hence, he proposed Apeiron - an ‘boundless’ surreal substance, that may conceptualize

the origins of the universe. Its permanence was therefore indicated by Aristotle, by a description of

impermanent resources that are impossible to create the Boundless medium. This became even more

indulging, when 2500 years later by Friedrich Nietzsche utilized this idea to prove his theses of

“Eternal Recurrence.” He states the following:

“If the world had a goal, it would have been reached. If there were for it some unintended final state,

this also must have been reached. If it were at all capable of pausing and becoming fixed, if it were

capable of ‘being,’ if in the whole course its becoming it possessed even for a moment this

capability of ‘being,’ then again all becoming with​ long since ​have come to an end.”

Nietzsche wrote the following citation in ​Die Philosophie im tragischen Zeitalter der Griechem (1873)

which remained unpublished in his lifetime, but released, he expresses these theories whilst crediting

Anaximander as well. To summarize, Anaximander was well reputed with the theory of how endlessly

extensive his universes’ are. Utilizing these ideals, we plan to make a colony in space that shares the

endlessness in creation, and ongoing in medium. Being human, we are voyagers as we are inquisitive

and incite for answers as we delve deeper to origins of creation. In this case, we are in the shoes of

Anaximander as he explores the Black Sea to colonize, and therein arises ​Apollonia​.

In the theory of Apeiron, with regards to his theory of the universe’s origins, the fields on which

Anaximander established his ideals of revealing on what the origins based on were given thought to,

relative to the interlinking factors philosophers like Anaximander would derive in terms of origin, are

the fundamental principles we utilize to establish our project’s objectives on. These include:
