The saying was above the temple door of Delphi, the Greek oracle.  None of
the above said it. Nobody knows who inscribed the temple façade.

Guru Dev is quoted as saying we must learn to silence
the mind in order to KNOW the SELF.

Did he say something about Guru Dev having been
the first?  I must have missed it.


-Don't know what you're asking. Calming the mind for knowing the self is
straight yoga philosophy. Yoga citta vritti nirodaha.

The Ancient Greek aphorism Know yourself (Greek: ãí#8182;èé óåáõôüí or 
gnothi seauton) was inscribed in the pronaos (forecourt) of the 
Temple of Apollo at Delphi - according to the Greek periegetic 
(travelogue) writer Pausanias (10.24.1).

The phrase has been attributed to at least five ancient Greek sages:

Chilon of Sparta (Chilon I 63, 25) 
Thales of Miletus 
Socrates 
Pythagoras 
Solon of Athens
 
Other sources attribute it to Phemonoe, a mythical Greek poetess. In 
a discussion of moderation and self-awareness, the Roman poet Juvenal 
quotes the phrase in Greek and states that the precept descended e 
caelo (from heaven) (Satire 11.27).
