The Last Days of Socrates

More entertaining than I expected. Sophocles is an intriguing subject but mostly I feel sorry for his wife (becoming a widow probably made her life better in many ways).

Plato is an artist in his own right. His arguments may not be all that convincing to modern readers, but the way he pulls you through the arguments is unparalleled, regardless of if they're repurposed from Socrates (like possibly in the Euthyphro and the Apology) or if they come straight from him (like is theorized about the Phaedo)

I will say, I was surprised in reading this that I found a few arguments that could still be used by modern audiences. But regardless, a good starting point for my getting into philosophy.

It's going to take more than one read to be able to hold onto what the heck this was about. Felt like it was being very smart though.
