 Plato, “Allegory of the Cave” (360 BCE)
Some philosophers have embraced Plato’s ideas and opinions wholeheartedly and others have rejected them entirely, but every major philosopher in the Western tradition has, at some point, grappled with Plato and the body of ideas that he left behind.
As a young man, Plato was a friend and admirer of Socrates (470-399 BCE), the Athenian “lover of knowledge,” (the literal translation of “philosopher”) who held it as his moral duty to question everything, and everyone, and to devote himself to the pursuit of truth.
His execution in 399 BCE deeply affected Plato, whose Apology is the best account that we have of Socrates’ trial.

 Alexander of Molossis
Our most important source for Alexander's campaign is the Roman historian Titus Livy (59 BCE - 17 CE), who describes it in book eight of the History of Rome from its foundation, chapter 24.
They were consuls from July 323 to June 322 BCE (the common identification with the year 326 is wrong).
