"our invention."" Jowett's translation is noted for injecting flowery, if not florid, language familiar to his Victorian era audience. Jowett himself, in ""Plato's Republic: The Greek Text"", Vol. III ""Notes"", 1894, p. 82, gives a literal translation of Plato as ""our need will be the real creator,"" without the proverbial flourish. In an address to the Mathematical Association of England on the importance of education in 1917, Alfred North Whitehead argued that """"the basis of invention is science, and science is almost wholly the outgrowth of pleasurable intellectual curiosity."""" and in contrast to the old proverb """"Necessity is the mother"

"Invented tradition The invention of tradition is a concept made prominent in the eponymous 1983 book edited by British Marxist intellectual E. J. Hobsbawm and T. O. Ranger. In their Introduction the editors argue that many ""traditions"" which ""appear or claim to be old are often quite recent in origin and sometimes invented."" They distinguish the ""invention"" of traditions in this sense from ""starting"" or ""initiating"" a tradition which does not then claim to be old. The phenomenon is particularly clear in the modern development of the nation and of nationalism, creating a national identity promoting national unity, and legitimising"

Indeed, the daughter of Agamemnon of Cyme, Damodice, is credited with inventing coined money by Julius Pollux after she married King Midas - famed for turning everything he touched into gold. The most rational explanation of this fable seems to be, that he encouraged his subjects to convert the produce of their agriculture, and other branches of industry, into money, by commerce, whence considerable wealth flowed into his own treasury... though it is more likely, that what the Greeks called invention, was rather the introduction of the knowledge of them [coins] from countries"
