Description

This scholarly work from De Gruyter examines the ancient interpretations and usages of the famous Delphic maxim "know yourself." The text focuses on Jewish, Christian, and Greco-Roman sources spanning the first four centuries CE. By analyzing both direct quotations and distant echoes of the maxim, the book provides a deep look into how this concept was understood across different traditions. Many of the sources included in this volume have not been studied in detail regarding their use of the Delphic maxim. This research contributes to a better understanding of the origin and reception of the maxim in antiquity. It serves as a significant resource for those studying the intersection of philosophy, Judaism, and early Christianity.
