    Quoted Heraclitus in another thread, than started reading some of his other quotes.

    Lots of wisdom and it's not lost on me that the Founding Fathers probably knew these quotes in the original Greek and could pull them or others like them from memory instantly and apply them to the situation of the moment.

    Truth with millennia of backup......Go here and get educated.

    Good stuff, I studied ancient Greek history and philosophy in school. Try Zeno and Parmenides as well. Not a whole lot on them but what is there is fascinating.

    I get what you're saying, Maggot, but I have to ask. When you were studying this in school, wasn't it just called "Greek", then? ;)
