Who was as student of Socrates the great and who built an Academy for other philosophers to educate? Who was the one who Aristotle advised and who wrote theories to later be analyzed? It was Plato, of course, with his brilliant mind who inspired ideas for all of mankind!

Pythagoras was born on the island of Samos and was so very wise. But he passed away in southern Italy where he had no family ties. He laid the groundwork for mathematics as he was well-travelled and very clever. He believed that the proper way to lead his life was to philosophize on every level.

Socrates was a poor and unruly philosopher with high values and ideas quite bold. He was a different kind of teacher who loved to ask questions and let the answers unfold. His controlling Inner Voice told him what to do as well as to drink poison, and his beliefs to uphold.
