Opis

The picture we have of Socrates' trial and death - created by his immediate followers and perpetuated in countless works of literature and art ever since - is that a noble man was put to death in a fit of folly by the ancient Athenian democracy. This work presents an account of one of the defining periods of Western civilization.
