I’ve literally just finished reading “The hemlock cup. Socrates, Athens and the search for the good life” by Bettany Hughes. Its a biography of the ancient philosopher, Socrates, and explores his life, the historical events that shaped him and his contemporaries and peers. It’s a good book if you are interested in the life of the philosopher and the Athens city state but not a good book if you want to learn about his philosophy. It is a well readable book and it should inspire the reader to dive deeper into Socrates.
