Pyrrho of Elis, << PIHR oh uhv EE luhs >> (361?-270? B.C.), was the founder of Skepticism. Skepticism was a philosophical movement of ancient Greece. Pyrrho traveled widely and learned many different philosophic viewpoints, each one claiming to be the truth. Because not all viewpoints could be right, Pyrrho decided to suspend judgment about truth, right, and wrong. Custom and convention, he felt, were the only guides to what is just or unjust. Even our senses tell us only how things appear, not what they really are. Pyrrho was born at Elis, Greece.
