[QUOTE]Originally posted by alTakruri: [QB] From [b]Diodorus[/b]' [i]Bibliotheca 1.96[/i] [QUOTE] But now that we have examined these matters we must enumerate [URL=http://www.]what Greeks, who have won fame for their wisdom and learning, [b]visited Egypt in ancient times that they might partake of the customs and sample the teaching there[/b][/URL]. For the priests of Egypt recount from the records of their sacred books that they were visited in former times by [i][b]Orpheus[/b], Musaeus, Melampus,[/i] and [i]Daedalus[/i], also by the poet [i]Homer[/i] and [i]Lycurgus[/i] of Sparta, later by [i]Solon[/i] of Athens and the philosopher [i]Plato[/i], and that there came also [i]Pythagoras[/i] of Samos and the mathematician [i]Eudoxus[/i], as well as [i] Democritus[/i] of Abdera and [i]Oenopides[/i] of Chios. As evidence for the visits of all these men they point in some cases to their statues and in others to places or buildings which bear their names, and [URL=http://www.]they offer proofs from the branch of knowledge which each one of these men pursued, arguing that [b]all the things for which they were admired among the Greeks were [i]transplanted out of Egypt[/i][/b][/URL].
