Olynthus was destroyed, and Demosthenes was among those sent (346 BC) on a mission to negotiate peace between Athens and the conqueror.

 Critique of Bruce Cumings, Korea history
O: Pro-Western historians largely agree with BC, that the anti-Communist regime in the South was rather shaky and unstable before 1950, with a doubtful popular mandate.
With documentation of prior Soviet knowledge of the invasion now available, BC does not mention the silly assertion of hardcore Lefties like I.F. Stone, that South Korea invaded North Korea on 25 June, and the swift, well-organized North Korean advance into South Korea was a spontaneous reaction.
Even BC offers no specifics of US "use" of such weapons; he knows that if he recycled long-discredited Communist "germ warfare" propaganda, he would be laughed off the world stage.

It was Socrates (470-399 BC) who said about philosophy that "an unexamined life is not worth living" and saw philosophy as the mother and sustainer of the sciences and at once the most general of sciences, i.e., the science of sciences.
Without defining what philosophy was, Plato, 429-348 BC, (the student of Socrates, and teacher of Aristotle, 385-322 BC) may have best "described" philosophy in his work entitled The Republic.
The Roman orator and author Cicero, 106-43 BC (De Officiis, Bk II, Ch.II) wrote "philosophia est rerum divinarum et humanarum causarumque quibus hae res continentur, scientia" (philosophy is the science of divine things and the human causes through which all these things are contained).
