Oracle

In Plato’s Apology, according to the Oracle at Delphi Socrates was the wisest man of all people. Still in the content he claims that, “in truth, worth nothing in regard to wisdom” and in a lot of Plato’s works he constantly shows his ignorance.

The Last trait that fully makes up Oedipus' tragic flaw is his ignorance and lack of self knowledge. He is completely oblivious of his origin. He is thus metaphorically blind by not having access to the fundamental truth of his personal life.

Although Oedipus fulfills his prophecy, it is ultimately his own curious nature that leads to his…

He was stating that one is not useful based on age, but chiefly on knowledge, and this skill can lead to greater things. I agree with this quote because of a personal anecdote. When I was a Boy Scout, I was the youngest to earn the Eagle Scout…

Oracle considered sending out her power into the doctor, but the idea of seeing a blown out knee cap made Oracle’s stomach churn. “There, now give it five minutes to run its course, and you’ll be right as rain.” “Thank you,” Reyes gasped. “Are you hurt?” A gentle hand lifted Oracle’s elbow then released it. Fingers felt around her neck and scalp. Oracle got an image flash of reddish-brown marks forming on her chin and right cheek. Above these bruises appeared a few scrapes, scabbing over. “I…

The account was confirmed by Xenophon and the oracle professed Socrates to be “free, straight, and practical individuals” somewhat than the utmost wise.
