The seven wise men (sages) of antiquity 1/5

The Seven Sages (of Greece) or Seven Wise Men (Greek: οἱ ἑπτὰ σοφοί, hoi hepta sophoi; c. 620 BCE--550 BCE) was the title given by ancient Greek tradition to seven early 6th century BCE philosophers, statesmen and law-givers who were renowned in the following centuries for their wisdom.

Traditionally, each of the seven sages represents an aspect of worldly wisdom which is summarized in an aphorism. Although the sages included in the list has sometimes varied, the most usual ones included are the following ones: * Cleobulus of Lindos: he would say that "Moderation is the best thing." He governed as tyranos of Lindos, in the greek island of Rhodes, circa 600 BC. * Solon of Athens: he said that "Keep everything with moderation". Solon (640-559 BC) was a famous legislator and social reformer from Athens, enforcing the laws that shaped the athenian democracy. * Chilon of Sparta: authored the aphorism "You should never desire the impossible". Chilon was a spartan politician from the 6th century BC, to whom the militarization of the spartan society is attributed. * Bias of Priene: "Most men are simply bad." Bias was a politician who became a famous legislator from the 6th century BC. * Thales of Miletus: Thales is the first known philosopher and mathematician. He famously said "Know thyself", a sentence so famous it was engraved on the fron façade of the Oracle of Apollo in Delphos. * Pittacus of Mytilene (c. 650 BC), governed Mytilene (Lesbos) along with Myrsilus. He tried to reduce the power of nobility and was able to govern Mytilene with the support of popular classes, to whom he favoured. He famously said "You should know which opportunities to choose". * Periander of Corinth: he was the tyranos of Corinth circa 7th and 6th centuries BC. Under his rule, Corinth knew a golden age of unprecedented prosperity and stability. He was known for "Be farsighted with everything".

Αντε να μάθουν σιγά σιγά οι Έλληνες από ποιούς κατάγονται.
