Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A revisionist account of the most famous trial and execution in Western civilization — one with great resonance for modern society In the spring of 399 BCE, the elderly philosopher Socrates stood trial in his native Athens. The court was packed, and after being found guilty by his peers, Socrates died by drinking a cup of poison hemlock, his execution a defining moment in ancient civilization. Yet time has transmuted the facts into a fable. Aware of these myths, Robin Waterfield has examined the actual Greek sources, presenting a new Socrates, not an atheist or guru of a weird sect, but a deeply moral thinker, whose convictions stood in stark relief to those of his former disciple, Alcibiades, the hawkish and self-serving military leader. Refusing to surrender his beliefs even in the face of death, Socrates, as Waterfield reveals, was determined to save a morally decayed country that was tearing itself apart. Why Socrates Died is then not only a powerful revisionist book, but a work whose insights translate clearly from ancient Athens to the present day.

Book excerpt: "'Tell us, Delphic Oracle, who is the wisest man in all of Greece?' So begins The Death of Socrates. No mortal man is wiser than Socrates, who, on his daily walks through Athens, talks to all the people he meets. When the person he talks to takes himself to be very wise, Socrates asks so many questions that the person ends up admitting he knows nothing. When he runs into people who know little, Socrates sets them on the way to wisdom. But not everyone shares Socrates's love for the truth. When the people of Athens put him on trial for his ceaseless questioning, how will he find the courage to continue to speak the truth?" from publisher's website.

Download or read book The Death of Socrates written by Theodoros N Korbilas and published by . This book was released on 2019-07-14 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The details that contribute to a picture of the personality of Socrates are scattered in the writings of his pupils (chiefly Plato and Xenophon) and of the historians or other writers. By means of these pieces of information we can see him teaching truth and virtue, not only by his words but also in his life. His life, especially its ending, displays such drama and such a tragic conclusion that I consider it worthwhile to transfer it from the stage of history to the stage of the theatre, in order to assist those readers or spectators who wish to know more but have not the time or the opportunity to search through the complex bibliographical maze to find the relevant details and become acquainted with Socrates. It was with this in mind that I ventured to write this play in four acts. After studying the relevant literature, I found the greater part of the setting of this play almost ready-made in Plato's Dialogues "Euthyphron", "Defence of Socrates", "Kriton" and "Phaidon". I extracted the most important parts from these dialogues, translated them freely into colloquial speech, and supplemented them with details from sources other than Plato. I modified their setting and context, wherever necessary, to suit them to the demands of a theatrical performance, and adapted them accordingly.The setting of the first act is entirely the work of my own imagination. I thought it probable that the closest friend of the famous Xanthippe, Socrates' wife, would have been the wife of Apollodoros who, according to the Platonic dialogues, especially the "Symposium", but also the "Memoirs of Xenophon", was such a close friend of Socrates that he never left his side. So I gave his wife the name of Thaleia and created a discussion between her and Xanthippe on the subject of Socrates. I put into their mouths details about the personality and philosophy of Socrates which come from ancient texts, in such a way as to make emerge the character and "philosophy" of Xanthippe who, according to Xenophon, was "the most difficult of women".
