Ellen's Lesson to Share: Know Thyself, as inscribed in the Oracle of Delphi

 

"Know Thyself" (Gnothi Seauton in Ancient Greek) was a maxim inscribed at the entrance of the Temple of Apollo in ancient Delphi, a site of a famous oracle. It was a command for those who sought divine counsel to understand their own human limitations and place in the world, rather than simply focusing on external answers. The inscription served as a reminder that true wisdom begins with self-knowledge before, during, or after consulting the oracle.
