Socrates
.... mother and father are as important as the city and you should respect the city as so.
Socrates describes the city and its laws more preciously. You don’t have the same rights as your parents. They educated you and thought you the rules in the city that you should follow.

Of all Sophocles's plays, only seven have really survived in their entirety. The seven plays are as follow: "Ajax" (451 to 444 B.C.), "Antigone" (after 441 B.C.), "Maidens of Troc .....

Stephen Sondheim
.... philosophy since is encapsulated in one of his song titles: "I Never Do Anything Twice". His first score as composer-lyricist was A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum (1962) - a show so funny few people spotted how experimental it was: it's still the only successful musical farce.

St. Gregory Of Tours
.... The history of the Frank was entitled Historia Francorum, It had ten books and started with creation and ended in the year 591. St Gregory of Tours died in the year 594 and his feastday is November 17th.
