Know Thyself
Apollo's The Oracle of Delphi and Astrology "Know Thyself." This famous Greek maxim is attributed to any number of ancient Greek philosophers, including the great Socrates. However, according to the ancient historian Plutarch, "Know Thyself" was originally the admonition "Gnothi se auton" ("Know Thyself") inscribed on the Sun god Apollo's Oracle of Delphi temple in ancient Greece. Plutarch should know about the inscription on the Oracle, since he was once one of its caretakers. In deference to Socrates, it's known that Apollo's Oracle of Delphi identified him as being the wisest of all men. There are at least five different major versions (with several variations of each version) of exactly how the Oracle of Delphi came to be, but one is all that I will pass along here.
