Isocrates was an Athenian orator and teacher who believed that Greece needed to unite against their common enemy, Persia. He wrote extensively about the need for a Panhellenic campaign against Persia, arguing that this would allow Greece to regain its lost glory and unity. While Xenophon was also involved in Greek politics and military campaigns, he did not advocate for an invasion of Persia. Thales and Pythagoras were ancient Greek philosophers and mathematicians, and Meno was a student of Socrates.
