What title was given by classical Greek tradition to a group of men who were known for their wisdom?

just like in math, if all else fails the answer is 7.

[bobbo16], Maybe theres conflicting sources, history can be unprecise sometimes!

Nahald1956, philosophers seem to favor that number for whatever reason...

I counted the males in the picture. yay.

I feel for the eighth man to come along, 'Oh come on guys let me in', 'sorry we already have the seven'
