 Pyrrho's pupils included Timon of Phlius, Hecataeus of Abdera, and Nausiphanes, who was one of Epicurus' teachers.He was also a major influence on Arcesilaus who, upon becoming scholarch of the Platonic Academy, transformed its teachings to conform with those of Pyrrho.This initiated Academic Skepticism, the second Hellenistic school of skeptical philosophy.
