 Seven Sages
Western philosophy begins with the ancient Greeks and Greek philosophy begins with the so called Seven Sages of the 6th century B. The earliest reference to the Seven Sages is in Plato's dialogue entitled Protagoras where he names them as follows:
Such men were Thales of Miletus, Pittacus of Mitylene, Bias of Priene, Solon of our city [Athens], Cleobulus of Lindus, Myson of Chen, and, last of the traditional seven, Chilon of Sparta.
The list of Diogenes Laertius differs from that of Plato in that he cites Periander (of Corinth) rather than Myson of Chen; otherwise the lists are identical.
