About this title
Synopsis
Athens, 399 BC. Socrates is seventy, a stonemason's son, and he has spent his life asking the city's most powerful men questions they could not answer. The city put up with it for decades. Now it has charged him with corrupting the young, and his accusers have the votes. Then comes the wait, thirty days until the sacred ship returns. His friends have bribed the guard. All he has to do is walk out. Every day a different friend is at the cell door with a new reason to run. Escape and he lives, and proves his accusers right about him. Stay and he dies with his argument intact.
