The greek Triumvirate
A triumvirate or a triarchy is a political institution ruled or dominated by three powerful individuals known as
triumvirs. The arrangement can be formal or informal. Though the three are notionally equal, this is rarely the

The word triumvirate refers to the three (3) greatest founding fathers of philosophy, i.e., Socrates, Plato and
Aristotle. Ancient Greek Philosophy reached its height at the hands of these erudite philosophers.
