Chapter 16 - Tales of Miletus

After those events that shocked all of Rome, everything returned to the way it was before, but very few knew that from now on the Dustin family had become the undisputed leader, in addition to the city that the Servius Tullius family was a city of Neapolis city ​​of the Greek colony, which was exchanged for the secret of fertilizers and reforms, Fatusis was no longer interested in those things since with the passage of time and the transmission of this information it has already begun to spread then to take advantage of benefits and it can be concluded that this city passed into the hands of the Latin league.

But right now a Greek ship had arrived, something that has been normal for businesses, but this time it was different since a letter had arrived at Fatusis before, so she knew that someone very special was going to arrive.

People began to gather around as the serfs and slaves began to descend then at this very moment under an old man in a wheelchair being carried by several people and behind him was a group of young men.

At that moment Fatusis also came the king with all his retinue, then he was the first to greet the old man who had just got off the ship through the ramp.

"How nice to meet you, such from Miletus, a great friend of my father"

Fatusis said with a slightly excited voice and with a standard greeting since when Luodico was alive, he decided to tour the capitals of Carthage, go to important Greek cities, meet the ancient kingdom of Egypt, and be an ambassador to the Achaemenid kingdom.

Luodico always preached that he lived no matter what year you were in and if you did not know the world then you would live in vain, his words caused a frenzy of tourism in all places, to visit the pyramids of Egypt, also the famous Strait of Hercules (current Strait of Gibraltar) the ancient cities of Mesopotamia and many more places, most of what made these trips were people who could afford to take 500 people for their protection, in addition to the means of transport that the only way was by boat and to horses.

To visit the ancient cities of Mesopotamia, you must first obtain a permit and pay an amount to be allowed to enter with your troops, in addition to entering the city of Samadag founded by Luodico as the port of Antioch after a long trip to the city of Aleppo and then you can be in the famous Jabbul lake, people are also hired as tourist guides to guide you to the Euphrates river, which is a route of approximately 205 kilometers.

So this promoted the economy in different regions and some governments seemed fine, but there are special cases to prevent entry and this would happen if you are from the nation that is at war or when the kingdom is at war they decide to close the border.

After fatusis greeted such of Miletus, he turned his gaze to the disciples of Miletus who were Anaximander, and to Bodgan Dustin, son of luodico and a noblewoman from Athens, when luodico went to Greece he decided to have a son and put him as a disciple of such of Miletus. Miletus wanted to refuse since he was not interested, but when he had a conversation with luodico about philosophy this change of decision in addition to the fact that luodico donated around a thousand gold coins a year.

That's why when luodico died they couldn't come as a precaution, but now Dustin is king so he can come to visit and say hello.

"Greetings to the disciples, I am the King of Rome, Fatusis Dustin."

He greeted again this time introducing himself.

When Bodgan heard his surname and what family he came from, he was surprised since he had heard from his mother and his teacher about his father as well as having children scattered all over the world, what he did not think was that he was going to pick him up, but after thinking that it was only because of his teacher.

This time it was the turn of such of Miletus to speak and he said.

"What a nice welcome, this time he comes just to say goodbye to my friend properly, then I'll take a trip to see the world and I already feel that I have a few days to live and I don't want to waste it"

When such said those words, the people could not sigh, this great master thinker but time does not forgive and the gods set limits for life.

"There is no need to be sad, let's go to the place where I will stay in the next few days, and bodgan you can use this time to ask fatusis anything about his family"

After small greetings and tribal things, the caravan began to walk and throughout the city, they already knew of the arrival of a new member of the Dustin family in addition to his teacher who was Greek.

That same night at the villa Dustin started a banquet for the new member's entrance, at that same banquet there were also Agrippa and Lizuca since they wanted new people to counter fatusis for that reason to have goodwill with bodgan.

The following day they went as a planned activity to pay their respects to Luosdico in the ancestral hall, then to the family's private cemetery, which currently has only two people. This could be considered a mausoleum that is located on the other side of the Tiber river.

After this ceremony at lunchtime, fatusis took out a sheet that he had prepared since luodico moments ago he wanted a signature from him as well as a response from such of Miletus.

"Mr. Such, from my father I have kept a note that contains a question and a request, I do not know if you would like to make it"

I speak fatusis putting everyone's attention since any words are full of wisdom.

"You can ask her the question and it depends on the request"

"Well, the petition is something simple and it is to sign it with a phrase of yours and the question is, do you consider yourself the first philosopher in history?"

This question is quite interesting since in modernity if he considers it since he began to promote this trade systematically and is the only one having records.

"Well, the request is easy, but the question is difficult, since philosophy is considered the love of wisdom, and any person with these qualities is a philosopher, also the first thing to consider is how we came to this, that It differentiates us between the beasts and the man, only the gods are considered, so they decided to make of us anyone who has doubts and wants to progress is sharp"

His words are affirmative since he does not consider himself to be the first philosopher since he even commented that all human beings since their inception have been wondering about anything.
