 Who was Socrates? Who were his disciples?

Socrates was a great philosopher of Athens(469-399 BC). He loved truth and discarded scepticism. He called upon the youth of his time to develop a spirit of inquiry.

However his ideas did not find favour with the charged him for corrupting the youth and condemned him to die.

He was made to drink hemlock, a herbal poison. Thus ended the life of one of the wisest men of all times.

His disciples were Plato and Xenophen. Socrates himself wrote nothing. Today we know about his life and what he said and did through the writings of Plato and Xenophen.
