Tuesday notes

Socrates was a dirty man and cared nothing about his appearance and was only interested in the mind of a person. He was the leader of the revolution of learning. He spent his days talking and debating the people he would see on the streets. He said that "unexammened life is not worth living" That you need to think about your life and your reason on the plant and why things happen. Pericles had an act of Hubris and he wanted to conquer the Spartans and he attacked them. The Spartans came back and invaded Athens and invaded their area and burned down their crops and fields. The Athenian Naval ships brought back and plague and since everyone was crammed behind a wall it spread very quickly. The plague killed over a third of the Athenian people. The plague spread to Pericles and after six months of him having it, in 429 B.C. he died. The Athenian people lost the Peloponneseian war to the Spartans and once they lost they looked for someone to blame. The only person they could blame for questioning their way of life and criticizer them was Socrates so he was arrested for unmanning state religion and corruption of the youth.
