Socrates

Socrates was a great thinker among Ancient Athens. At least when being considered from a modern perspective. he had always thought that the way people would become council with a lottery was a horrible idea that the best could possibly never get in.

• He would challenge young Athenians
• Had unique opinions on religion which caused his case in court

A poet named Meletus brought Socrates to court and questioned him. He was charged with a death penalty, and majority voted against him. When faced with a death penalty, people could run and easily escape but Socrates decided not to.
