The "Father of Victory" in the Second World War
Winston Churchill biography He was a military, political and ultimately prime minister (63 years old) after the outbreak of war. He also wrote a number of historical works, biographies and memoirs, including "Memoirs from the Second World War" and "History of the English-speaking Peoples".

Apollonios Tyaneus, 1st century AD , Neophythagorean philosopher
Apollonios Tyaneus biography was born about four years before Christ, in the Tyan of Cappadocia. After studying Greek philosophy and adopting the ascetic life of the Pythagoreans, he traveled to the East (even in India) and became famous for his miraculous powers. In the last years of his life he passed them to Ephesus. According to a legend he disappeared at the temple of Athena in Lindos (Rhodes) and according to another legend he disappeared in the temple of Diktiny (Minoan Deity) in Crete.
About 200 AD a very interesting but not very credible biography was written by Philostrato.
Those involved in metaphysics consider him to be the leading mystic of the greatest wizards of all time. He was a contemporary of Jesus and this is important for two reasons: 1) many of the stories about his miracles (even the dead he rose!) May have been influenced by the stories about Jesus (or vice versa); 2) inferior to what he deserved, probably because of the prevalence of Christianity.

The proverbial (or proverbial) phrases are a kind of phrase that has nothing to do with scholars, although it is related to proverbs as to their popular or allegorical character.
These are short phrases that are not "crisis formulations", so we do not use them to formulate an opinion but to make a characterization.
However, the boundaries with Proverbs are sometimes inconspicuous.
