OverviewAI-generated
Socrates (Σωκράτης) was a male philosopher, teacher, writer, and ethicist from Classical Athens. Born in 470 BCE to Phaenarete and Sophroniscus, he resided in Athens, where he served as a member of the boule. He spoke Ancient Greek and was part of the Greek ethnic group. His notable students included Plato, Xenophon, Antisthenes, and Aristippus.
He was influenced by Anaxagoras, Pre-Socratic philosophy, and sophists. Socrates had spouses named Xanthippe and Myrto, and children including Yogui and Menexenus. He died in Athens in 399 BCE by forced suicide. His work is described by sources such as The Catholic Encyclopedia, Brockhaus and Efron Encyclopedic Dictionary, Encyclopædia Britannica 11th edition, and Pauly–Wissowa. His fields of work included philosophy, epistemology, and ethics.
