wise men
Star-following travelers
Wise men are those possessing wisdom, judgment, or learning.
The phrase often refers specifically to the Magi—the travelers from the East who visited the infant Jesus bearing gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
More generally, wise men suggests counselors or sages: The king consulted his wise men.
The phrase sounds archaic; modern usage typically substitutes gender-neutral alternatives like advisors or experts.
