Socrates names the Seven Sages: Thales of Miletus, Pittacus of Mytilene, Bias of Priene, Solon of Athens, Cleobulus of Lindus, Myson of Chene (in Laconia) and Chilon of Sparta[3] as the sources for the Delphic maxims, noting that “only perfectly educated men were capable of uttering such expressions.”
