There is a riddle that was referred to in an ancient greek play. The riddle is: Under it stands, In it begins, That which feels the wind. My clues are that it was written by Socrates, and that it would help if it was translated back into its orginal greek. When translated into greek and then back into english it reads: under it stands, in him it begins, the one that feels the air. Please help.

I have thought about this some more. At first I said "the sun," but I think the answer would be "time." Just a guess, but I hope it helps you in some way.

I can't figure it out, even translating it in Greek. A wave in the sea , maybe? Perhaps it would help to tell us the play, to get any clues from the context.
