Some have always attributed the saying that was inscribed over the courts of Athens, "Know Thyself" to Socrates. However, Giambattista Vico in his famous "New Science," attributed the phrase to Solon, Athenian lawmaker, poet, et cetera. I would venture to agree with the later, as through history so many things that are attributed to Socrates ought to have been attributed to their rightful origin. I believe this is an example of such a case.
