I just learnt about him in my CL class.
Born at Athens in 469 before century, most of his life was spent as stonemason which he inherits from his father. Then, he become a soldier and served his beloved land in the Peloponnesia War.
After the war, he started to wander in the city of Athens and started to question thing like someone never before. Not long after that, he started to gain few student and of if the most famous is Plato. Long after Socrates death, people starts to think like him but there is no documentation of Socrates idea's so Plato, his well-known student published the Apology which contain his conversations with his teacher.
Socrates's death was because he was charged with by a democratic politician of not believing in gods corrupting the youth of the city of Athens.
Nowadays, Socrates idealism being studied and spread all over the world.
