Unit 8:  a  Pre-Socratic Philosophers
              b  PanHellenic Games

Pre-Socratic Philosophers
Greek philosophy is always divided by Socrates who was born just as the Persian Wars were ending; Greek philosophy is pre-Socratic, Socratic, or post-Socratic. It follow, then, that philosophers of the Archaic Period were pre-Socratic.
 
From  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pre-Socratic_philosophy
Pre-Socratic philosophy is Greek ancient philosophy before Socrates (and includes schools contemporary to Socrates that were not influenced by him[1]). In Classical antiquity, the Presocratic philosophers were called physiologoi (Greek: φυσιόλογοι; in English, physical or natural philosophers).[2] Aristotle called them physikoi ("physicists", after physis, "nature") because they sought natural explanations for phenomena, as opposed to the earlier theologoi (theologians), whose philosophical basis was supernatural.[3] Diogenes Laërtius divides the physiologoi into two groups, Ionian and Italiote, led by Anaximander and Pythagoras, respectively.[4]

 Socrates (470/469 – 399 BC) was a classical Greek (Athenian) philosopher credited as one of the founders of Western philosophy.  He is an enigmatic figure known chiefly through the accounts of classical writers, especially the writings of his students Plato and Xenophon and the plays of his contemporary Aristophanes.  Plato's dialogues are among the most comprehensive accounts of Socrates to survive from antiquity, though it is unclear the degree to which Socrates himself is "hidden behind his 'best disciple', Plato".

b  Pan-Hellenic Games
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panhellenic_Games)
Pan Hellenic Games started with the first foot race outside the Temple of Zeus in Olympia, which, according to tradition, occurred in 776 BC, and developed into a multi-sport multi-venue rotation during the Archaic period.
