The trial and execution of Socrates in 399 BC highlight the conflict between philosophical inquiry and Athenian democracy. Accused of corrupting the youth and impiety, Socrates faced a court that ultimately condemned him. Notable contemporaries, Plato and Xenophon, documented the proceedings, making this trial one of history's most renowned legal cases. The event raises profound questions about morality, belief, and the role of the individual in society.
