Description

Democracy, physics, astronomy, ethics and many other applied sciences stem from philosophy and, naturally, philosophers are considered the world’s first intellectuals.

Through a 4 hour private walking tour you will learn every interesting fact about philosophers from Thales of Miletus to Socrates and Plato, and from Aristotle to the Cynic philosopher Diogenes of Sinope, whose famous answer towards Alexander the Great “Stand out of my sunlight”, when he was asked whether there was any favor he might do for him, is indicative of his character.

Along with a Be a Greek member you will get acquainted with the most important myths of the ancient Greek world such as the story behind the birth of goddess Athena and everything around mischievous god Hermes.
