Epaminondas (ca. 404 BC–362 BC) was a Theban general and statesman of the 4th century BC who transformed the Ancient Greek city-state of
Thebes, leading it out of Spartan subjugation into a preeminent position in Greek politics. In the process he broke Spartan military power with his
victory at Leuctra and liberated the Messenian helots, a group of Peloponnesian Greeks who had been enslaved under Spartan rule for some 200 years.

Leonardo da Vinci Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci (, April 15, 1452 – May 2, 1519) was an Italian polymath, being a scientist, mathematician,
engineer, inventor, anatomist, painter, sculptor, architect, botanist, musician and writer. Leonardo has often been described as the archetype of the
renaissance man, a man whose unquenchable curiosity was equaled only by his powers of invention. He is widely considered to be one of the greatest
painter of all time and perhaps the most diversely talented person ever to have lived.
Michelangelo Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni (March 6, 1475 – February 18, 1564), commonly known as Michelangelo, was an Italian
Renaissance painter, sculptor, architect, poet and engineer. Despite making few forays beyond the arts, his versatility in the disciplines he took up
was of such a high order that he is often considered a contender for the title of the archetypal Renaissance man, along with his rival and fellow
Italian Leonardo da Vinci. Michelangelo's output in every field during his long life was.
Pietro Aretino Pietro Aretino (April 20, 1492 – October 21, 1556) was an Italian author, playwright, poet and satirist who wielded immense
influence on contemporary art and politics and invented modern literate pornography. Born out of wedlock in Arezzo (Aretino, "from Arezzo"), very

There Agostino Chigi, the rich banker and patron of Raphael, took him under his wing.
Dominique Phinot Dominique Phinot (c. 1510 – c. 1556) was a Franco-Flemish composer of the Renaissance, active in Italy and southern France.
He was highly regarded at the time for his motets, which anticipate the style of Palestrina, and in addition he was an early pioneer of polychoral
writing. He may have been French in origin, since Girolamo Cardano, writing about him in his Theonoston (1560) called him "Gallus", and French was
evidently his native language.
Cyrano de Bergerac Hector Savinien de Cyrano de Bergerac (6 March 1619 – 28 July 1655) was a French dramatist and duelist who is now best
remembered for the many works of fiction which have been woven around his life story. In these fictional works he is featured with an overly large
nose; portraits suggest that he did have a big nose, though not nearly as large as described in Edmond Rostand's play and the subsequent works about
him.
Richard Cromwell (4 October 1626 – 12 July 1712) was the third son of Oliver Cromwell, and was the second Lord Protector of England,

Dick for his indecisive character.
