So many famous people today are descended from the country of Greece. Below are some well known names from the past, together with a few modern day surprises...
Socrates - The Father of Western Philosophy. Socrates taught that the unexamined life is not worth living and although he did not have his own definition of truth he believed in questioning what others believed as truth, which became known as the Socratic method, which involves solving a problem by breaking it down into a series of questions the answer to which will gradually distill the answer being sought and help you achieve genuine self knowledge.
Plato - A classical Greek philosopher who is known today as one of the greatest philosophers of all time. Plato was a student of Socrates and practically everything we know about Socrates came from the writings of Plato as Socrates himself kept no written records during his life. Plato was a mathematician, writer of philosophical dialogues and the founder of the Academy in Athens (the first university). Plato believed that men and women had the same intellectual powers, and was one of the first to teach that women should receive the same education as men.
Hippocrates - An ancient Greek physician, who is today referred to as the 'Father of Medicine' in recognition of his lasting contributions to the medical field and as the founder of the Hippocratic School of Medicine on the island of Kos. He is credited with greatly advancing the systematic study of clinical medicine and prescribing practices for physicians through the Hippocratic Oath and other works. He was the first to separate the discipline of medicine from religion, believing that disease was not a punishment inflicted by the Gods but rather the product of environmental factors, diet and living conditions.
Aristotle Onassis - The most famous Greek shipping magnate of the 20th Century and the founder of Olympic Airways, the Greek national carrier. Originally born in Smyrna he fled after the invasion of Turkish forces and headed to Greece as a refugee. From there he headed to Argentina where he revived the family tobacco business which after difficult beginnings began to flourish and made him his first million. He purchased his first ships in the 1930's and later that decade became the first Greek to enter tanker business.
Maria Callas - An American born Greek operatic soprano. One of the greatest and most versatile operatic singers in recent history with a voice that is difficult to place in the modern vocal classification. She sang an incredible variety of roles and gave some of the most emotive and visually dramatic performances.
Yanni - Born Yannis Chryssomallis in Kalamata in the Peloponesse, he moved to America when he was 18 years old. Yanni is a self taught pianist, keyboarder and composer with perfect pitch. Although producing and selling hugely successful albums from the mid 80's his breakthrough commercial success came with the release of his album and video "Yanni live at the Acropolis", filmed in September 1993 and played repeatedly by the American station PBS. Also known for his long term affair with actress Linda Evans.
Nana Mouskouri - Born as Ioanna Mouskouri on the Greek island of Crete, Nana speaks five languages, but sings her songs in more than 15 different languages earning her a place as one of the top ten best selling female recording artists ever. Nana Mouskouri has one vocal cord that is thicker than the other and this unusual condition accounts for her unique voice. Nana has steadfastly pursued many types of music and sold over 300 million albums worldwide.
Demis Rousos - Born Artemios Ventouris Roussos in Egypt to ethnic Greek parents his parents returned to their homeland of Greece after the Suez Crisis. After spending five years as lead singer of the group "We Five" and achieving great popularity especially in Europe, Demis embarked on a solo career that saw him touring the globe and releasing many worldwide hits in a career that has spanned more then 40 years.
