This review is from: Socrates: Greek Philosopher (Great Names) (Library Binding)

Socrates, who was born in Athens, Greece 550 B.C., was considered a prominent and respectful philosopher of the time. The author brought the liveliness of Socrates and his many accomplishments into understanding passages. From birth to unfair death sentences, he accomplished more than anybody of that time. For instance, his meticulous views on intelligence (represented by a tree of many branches.) He also held influence on mathematics, including geormetry and alegbra. Then, to the accused contradictory views on the church, Socrates was sentenced to death. Expressing his ideas and sincere thoughts about life and religion, it was enough to put this brilliant life above many others.
