Mirror Day vs Ask the Ancients

Travel back in time every day from your Mirror Day, which can be your birthday, high school graduation, wedding anniversary, or any other fixed point in time. Every day the reflection of today in your Mirror Day moves back another day, and we show you who was in political office, who was alive, who was deceased, and who would be born in the future. The persons are shown in order of the length of their Wikipedia article. Get a notification once a day on weekdays, weekends, or both to check out a new person of historical importance. Tap a picture tile and get a short biography, a big picture, timelines, and a link to the corresponding Wikipedia page. Share your Mirror Day reflection with friends via text, email, Facebook, Twitter, you name it. Great for history buffs seeking a personal connection to the lives of the people who made history.

Get advice and words of wisdom from Ancient Greek and Roman philosophers, such as Socrates, Plato, Marcus Aurelius, and more! Also learn about the advice given by the Pythia, who was consulted by great leaders and philosophers for centuries. Now you, too, can ask the Pythia of Delphi for her historical words of wisdom. These inscriptions were the same ones used in ancient times! Use the “psephoi” (pottery shards) and receive a random Delphic maxim to reflect on for the day, or get a quote from a specific philosopher that you may be drawn to- you will find Stoics, Cynics, Platonists, and Epicureans among them. Immerse yourself in the ideas of the world from 2,000 years ago- their insights are still relevant. Learn from those who created the philosophies that we study today, and get a better understanding of the philosophical principles that they followed. Travel back in time and Ask the Ancients!
