"Greek philosophy began on May 28, 585 B.C., at 6:13 in the evening."

Opening sentence to Thales to Dewey, A History of Philosophy, Gordon H. Clark.

One of the coolest opening sentences to a textbook I've ever seen.

(BTW, he is referring to an eclipse of the Sun that had been predicted by Thales).
