Know Thyself
"Know thyself" (Greek: , ) is a philosophical maxim which was inscribed upon the Temple of Apollo in the ancient Greek precinct of Delphi. The best-known of the Delphic maxims, it has been quoted and analyzed by numerous authors throughout history, and has been applied in many ways.

In the 4th century BC, however, the maxim was drastically re-interpreted by Plato, who und ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
