Features: Skepticism, along with the Epicurean and Stoic schools, constitutes "Late Greek Philosophy." They emerged in Greece during the "Hellenistic Period" (334 BCE–30 BCE) and continued to evolve, becoming the dominant philosophical trends in the major Mediterranean powers for nearly a thousand years. The fundamental ideas of skepticism are preserved in the works of Sextus Empiricus, a synthesizer of Pyrrhonist theory around the 2nd century CE, upon which later research is primarily based.
