Who were The Sophists in Ancient Greece?
Extensive reading in Greek history will convince one of the relation of the Greeks to the Great Race of Els, who lived partly in Crete and in Memphis. Cecrops, the earliest teacher of the Pelasgi (the earliest Greeks) was presumed to have come from Egypt.
Minos, the early king of Crete, received his laws from the Oracle of Jupiter, Minos brought Greece into the vassalage of Crete. Hostages were taken from Greece to Crete. Excavations at Knossus in Crete show the Cretans as highly civilized whites. Many fables placed Crete as the home of the gods. Like Cyprus it received its wealth and lay unfortified.
Ho craft they Knew, with woven brick and jointed beam to pile the sunward porch; but in the dark earth burrowed and housed like sunless ants in sunless caves."
Aeschylus
But it was from Crete that the Sophists came and taught that there were no gods and that there never had been any.
And Crete was the home of the gods. It was in their home that they lost their honor. Where the living had been the best the worst came. It is the same today in Spain, Russia, and, China. It was indeed a great blessing that the Sophist ever came at all.
