Metempsychosis is a belief in life after death; and in the quest of this concept we can trace it in the philosophical undercurrent of the Greek Civilization that the ancient Greeks believed in some form of life after death; and that belief was very much near the idea of rebirth as the ancient Hindus had. It is astonishing that when Socrates was about to consume Hemlock as according to the dictates of the court, the philosopher in Socrates said, 'Now gentlemen, it is time to bid you goodbye; you are to stay here only to follow me after in the world next where life will continue'. Socrates wanted to mean that Hemlock could not terminate his life; and his life would continue after in some other form.

When did prime numbers first come into light?

They were known, at least, to the Ancient Greeks - perhaps earlier.
