Details

The Ancient Greek aphorism "Know thyself", was inscribed in the pronaos of the Temple of Apollo at Delphi - according to the Greek periegetic writer Pausanias. The aphorism has been attributed to at least six ancient Greek sages: Chilon of Sparta, Heraclitus, Pythagoras, Socrates, Solon of Athens, Thales of Miletus. Other sources attribute it to Phemonoe, a mythical Greek poetess. In a discussion of moderation and self-awareness, the Roman poet Juvenal quotes the phrase in Greek and states that the precept descended de caelo. The authenticity of all such attributions has been doubted; according to one pair of modern scholars, "The actual authorship of the three maxims set up on the Delphian temple may be left uncertain. Most likely they were popular proverbs, which tended later to be attributed to particular sages."
