Hi Pup, welcome to A2K.



There is a riddle that was referred to in an ancient Greek play written by Aristophanes, probably "The Clouds".

The riddle is:

"Under it stands, in it begins, that which feels the wind."

The clues are that it was written by Socrates, and that it would help if it was translated back into its original 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
