The Hemlock Cup: Socrates, Athens, and the Search for the Good Life by Bettany Hughes

3.0

3 1/2 stars. An interesting history, and Bettany Hughes did her homework. This particular work doesn't flow, so I found it best to pick it up in 20 minute intervals. It took longer than normal to get through, but I was less distracted by the side trips, and enjoyed it a lot more in the smaller doses.
