Μαρία: Η έρευνα μου είναι σχετική με τον Φερεκύδη και τους προσωκρατικούς φιλοσόφους.
Αντώνης: Οι προσωκρατικοί φιλόσοφοι απέρριψαν τις παραδοσιακές μυθολογικές εξηγήσεις των φυσικών φαινομένων που έβλεπαν γύρω τους και έδωσαν πιο λογικές εξηγήσεις.
Γιώργος: Ο Φερεκύδης μίλησε για την κοσμογονία που προέρχεται από τρεις θεϊκές αρχές: τον Δία, τη Γη και τον Χρόνο.
Μαρία: Αυτό είναι πολύ ενδιαφέρον!
Γιώργος: Η θεωρία του δημιούργησε μια γέφυρα ανάμεσα στη μυθολογική σκέψη του Ησιόδου και στη προσωκρατική φιλοσοφία.
Μαρία: Ναι, και θεωρείται ότι είναι ο εφευρέτης του ηλιακού ρολογιού.
Αντώνης: Και επίσης ήταν ο πρώτος που προσπάθησε να μετρήσει τον ήλιο.

Maria: My research is about Pherekydes and presocratic philosophers.
Antonis: The Presocratic philosophers rejected traditional mythological explanations of the phenomena they saw around them in favor of more rational explanations.
George: Pherecydes spoke about a cosmogony, deriving from three divine principles Zeus, Earth and Time.
Maria: That`s very interesting!
George: His theory formed a bridge between the mythological thought of Hesiod and pre-Socratic philosophy.
Maria: Yes, and he considered to be the inventor of the solar clock.
Antonis: And moreover he was the first that tried to measure the sun.
