Product Description
Socrates was born during the Golden Age of Greece. He grew up during the exciting days of Pericles in Athens, in the midst of drama and poetry, the creation of architecture and sculpture, and the writing of literature. The glory of Athens lasted less than 50 years. Socrates lived to see his city conquered by the Spartans from without and by a terrible plague from within. He tried to convince his fellow citizens to examine their own beliefs and behavior. The Athenians arrested Socrates. They accused him of corrupting his students. He refused to run away to save his life and was tried and executed.
