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

challenging informative inspiring medium-paced

4.0

A thorough telling of the life and death of the great Greek philosopher, Socrates. I really like the way in which the author told his story. The pacing was good. However, sometimes the language used could be over the top. I think it could have been written a little simpler and still have been just as enjoyable.
