 The Greek Quest for Ideal Order - By Miles Hodges   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
As time progressed, during the 600s and 500s BC, from Greek Southern Italy in the West to Greek Western Asia (modern-day Turkey) in the East, Greek thinkers or philosophers were reflecting deeply on this matter of a basic order underlying all creation.
Socrates (mid-late 400s BC) was fully persuaded that the cosmos or universe was fundamentally an orderly place--every part of the great cosmos (including humans like ourselves--at least ideally) operating in accordance with a divine spirit of "justice" that flowed through all life, giving it purpose and structure.
In a new wave of migrations (extensive during the 700s and 600s BC) they sailed east and west and discovered lands that they could colonize with their excess population (much as other cultures were doing at the time, notably the Phoenecians--located along the Syrian coast--with whom the Greeks had active commerical relations).
