كتاب الحكماء السبع مسموع

A play inspired by ancient Greek history, in which “Abd al-Ghaffar Makkawi” evokes the wise men of Greece who lived in the sixth century BC, and whose numbers varied between seven and seventeen, and establishes a philosophical dialogue between him and them in which he touches on the effects of wisdom until his confusion subsides, and reviews the history of these wise men and their sayings . Here is Thales, the first to purify wisdom from the clouds of myth and the mists of the unseen, and the first to ask the question of reason about the principle and origin, and he said: “Know yourself.” He came to Egypt, learned sports there, and transferred geometry to the Greeks. As for the poet “Solon”; He is the owner of the famous legislation that establishes the rules of governance and justice. And “Pitacus” who said: “The moment, if it comes to you; Don't let it slip away from you.” And other wisdoms attributed to them, reviewing their historical circumstances that made them wise, to make it clear that wisdom is in action before saying.

“Pitacus: A saying will not work in a time that nullifies the meaning of the saying.

So argue from my words the cord of revolution and action.

O you who wore the garment of wisdom in times of tribulation and sorrows,

Turn your words into stone, and stone all idols.

Helpless people have no motive for tyranny.

Do you contemplate the moonlight, while your people are insulted in the mud?

Revolution is the season of wisdom, take action!

Get angry at the truth, announce your secret to the world and raise your voice!

And if the people's order is disturbed, and terror prevails,

duty and law are lost;

Wisdom in adversity is fear, and kindness is weakness.

And the mind is madness.”
