once again I have to remind everyone that his trial wasn't for some BS like being annoying. but because he was antidemocratic, and his students did an foreign led coup, ended democracy killed 10% of Athens, and ran away 8 month later.
He was held responsible and never denounced them. He likely wasn't as innocent as we think he was.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thirty_Tyrants
Just being pedantic, the linked article says that only one of the thirty was a student of Socrates, "only" 5% of Athens was killed, and Plato recounts that Socrates claims to have disobeyed their orders, risking his life (if he says so himself lol). Doesn't disprove your point whatsoever, I just like the facts str8
You know who else liked the facts straight? Diogenes. Which is why when Plato said that man was defined as "a featherless biped" Diogenes defeathered a chicken and carried it up to Plato screaming, "Behold! I have brought you a man!"
Just wanted to add that to this comment thread because I love that story.
Classic Diogenes.
Well, it was classic era
