Delphic Mysteries – Unusual Prophecy And Birth – Part 1
Ellen Lloyd - AncientPages.com - An inscription on the Temple of Delphi says: "Know thyself, and thou wilt know the universe and the gods."
It is only one sentence, yet it contains so much wisdom and a goal many find challenging. Most people spend most of their life trying to know who they are.
Ancient Greeks were wise, and their philosophy contributed much to society. Ancient Greek quotes still inspire modern thinkers and the public in general. Names like Socrates, Thales, Plato, Aristotle, and Pythagoras, to name a few, hardly need an introduction.
Nevertheless, there is a little-known mysterious individual among all those famous ancient Greek philosophers, a being that deserves our attention. While studying Delphic Mysteries, we learn about a puzzling encounter at a temple. This meeting shaped the future of one of the most famous ancient Greek philosophers. We also examine unusual Delphic mysteries and discuss fascinating legends suggesting that the truth about an ancient Greek philosopher is possibly stranger than we would have imagined.
