all these seem Greek to me, however the author of this article forgotten Bethoven, I thought that Bethoven was the most known Greek writer. If these guys are so important why then Greece went bankrupt?

Socrates actually wasn't a writer, since he hasn't written anything. Writing down his theories was against his idea of what philosophy is. He does play a very important role in Plato's work.

Yet, there is another fault in the text. Plato did not witness Socrates' execution; he witnessed the trial but was ill on the day he drank the poison.

Great list, egernunge! You caught some flak for not posting The Complete Compendium of Everyone's Idea of Important Greeks, but I thought you did an excellent job of introducing us to 10 Ancient Greek Writers We Should Know. I'll look them up, and if I run across others that interest me, so much the better. Thanks!

"Back in those days, almost everything had yet to be discovered…"

Lifeschool, generations 25 centuries from now might be saying the same thing about our time. I know you're not criticizing or trying to cheapen those early Greeks minds, but I wonder: How will we stack up against them? Are our contributions as valuable as theirs? Man, those early Greeks were good – a tough act to follow!
