It’s really interesting how the Delphic Maxims have influenced so many value/ethic codes. Fuck, honestly reciting the Girl Scout law is a halfway decent summary of the maxims, if you think about it.

I mean...

GS Law:

I will do my best to be honest and fair, friendly and helpful, considerate and caring, courageous and strong, and responsible for what I say and do, and to respect myself and others, respect authority, use resources wisely, make the world a better place, and be a sister to every Girl Scout.

Kind of similar, right? Like, the gist is there. The maxims have had such a lasting impact, and there’s hardly any scholarship on it! :/

So, looks like I’ll be exploring the Delphic Maxims using Longing For Wisdom by Allyson Szabo and other supplemental resources.

I’m not planning on posting all of my musings or discoveries or what-have-you online, but I may choose to share some thoughts. If this interests you, keep an eye out. I’ll try to use the tag DelphicMaxims2020.
