Today in class we watched more of the movie, hopefully we are getting close to the end. But this time it focused on Socrates a lot more, and I learned that he was a critic and was arrested for undermining the religion an corrupting the youth, he was also put to death by Hemlock, which was part of the traditional way to die in Greek time. Also, plague killed 1/3 of the population of Athens. The greeks believed that the "un-examined life is not worth living." Lastly, the spartans won the Peloponnesian war, and the Peloponnesian's blamed Socrates for this loss.
