Socrates is one of history's most influential but mysterious thinkers. Regardless of the fact that he never wrote anything, his popularity has persisted for centuries. Socrates was tried by the inhabitants of Athens in 399 B.C.E. on the accusation of impiety, was found guilty by a jury, and put to death. There is no controversy over these facts.
The Trial and Execution of Socrates: References and Controversial Issues is the first work to bring together all of the primary ancient sources on Socrates' death—both those of his critics and those of his defenders—along with contemporary scholarly perspectives.
