In greece 8 years ago they recreated Socrates trial in an ancient roman agora using ancient greek. Next to us there was a screen with modern greek and english subtitles. I watched It 2 times. The aesthetic and the vibes while talking ancient greek... gives you goosebumps. It was epic āš¾

"You think by silencing me you're avoiding critique of your actions but I assure you more critics will arise & they'll be younger & even harsher. Remember eliminating your critics isn't the way to improvement or redemption, the best way forward is self improvement"
Thank you for this, no doubt I'll be listening to it a few times over

Back in college, a guy I knew thought it was "cool" and "edgy" to dismiss Socrates as basically being a "bum", based on his description as being shabbily dressed, having no actual job and just hanging out at the marketplace talking to random people all day. My response: Not only did that "bum" regularly attract the best educated, most successful and brightest minds of the city to have debates with him (which he pretty much always WON) but his impact on history was so profound that 2 and a half thousand years later---you still know his name. So put some respect on it. After all, do you really think people will remember YOU for even a fraction as long?

In Indian philosophy he is very fondly remembered as the great philosopher & wise man - Sukrat.

Even after 2500 years still one of the greatest speechs of a man ,that defends not just one man but the right of every man to articulate his thoughts to well meaning words to convey an important message for humanity !

Socrates was the one who lead me down the path of Philosophy, the one who spoke to me in a way I understood and loved. I marvelled at his wisdom, and loved him for his honesty and courage. Many years have passed since we met, and my love for him is still above all others, is it his humanity? I think so. So now I have listened to his defence, and find it so moving, and I love him even more now. He is always the one I choose, above all others, to have at the top table at my very exclusive dinner party. Thank you.

In the Iranian culture everyone knows of him as a great man of philosophy in history. We call him "Soghrat".

As one who read Socratesā defence in Ancient Greek, I was skeptical at first when I heard that you were putting Socrates into modern parlance and vernacular. I was worried it would descend into gutter speak or sound vulgarā¦ but by God you have brought the manās spirit to life! Profound job, keeping the Gad Fly alive!

This is absolutely phenomenal. As a Greek I studied Socrates in school back in the day. Only in the recent years I finally understood that Socrates was literally "cancelled" to death by his sycophants.

Ironically enough he outlived all of them since we still listen to him today. This trial brought him eternal life.

Beautiful. I was engaged throughout. Thank you for making his words more palatable & easy to absorb. Very inspiring!

"An unexamined life is a waste." A bit of wisdom I see in my self and others. Especially others!

The context of the trial is almost always as important or more important than the person being tried or the decision that was rendered. However, this is absent from the Socratic discourse. Socrates' trial took place in 399 BC or 400 BC, so just a few years after the end of the Peloponnesian War (431 BC to 404 BC). Socrates survived the war and the epidemic that befell Athens, taking the life of its greatest political leader. When he was put on trial he could have said: "The rigors of the Peloponnesian war troubled the minds of my accusers, because they also lost their friends, relatives and political leaders. It turned them against me because I always criticized those people while they were alive. My accusers suffer because of an event that I did not cause. The war was not started by me and I was old to fight in it. Will their suffering be lessened if they make me suffer? No, because their friends, relatives and political leaders will remain dead. My accusers could have said that I spread the disease that killed so many people during the war. If that were the case I myself would already be dead like most people who got sick. Who among the survivors can accuse me of having survived without accusing himself?" And so on... Socrates however does not draw attention away from himself by using the context in which he was tried, something that would be admissible and would probably be done by any lawyer (believe me I am a lawyer and I know what I am talking about). No, he kept within the confines of the accusation, and at best examined the character of his accusers. This cannot be considered a good legal strategy either, because Socrates knew that he was unpopular and that flaunting his unpopularity would be an almost certain way to get a conviction. This is where things get more interesting: Socrates said that it was better to suffer an injustice than to act unfairly. And yet he practically forced his judges to convict him by refusing to use a defense strategy that could have led to his acquittal. So Socratic's defense speech may be considered an exceptionally ironic one: it was the philosopher's last sting at an unjust city condemned by him to pass another unjust judgment.
