Diogenes Laertius

According to chapter one of our study book, this guy is called the father of of philosopy. He divided the presocratic era into serveral sections. I think they are:

1. Ionic or Mylesian school which consists primarily of three big named philosophers from Greece: thales, anaximander, and anaximenes.

2. The Pthyagorus school - which was centered in Italy, but I believe he came from Greece. This school was more spiritually motivated.

I can't remember the others and I don't have my book with me!

Who knows what Thales is remembered for?
