Bettany Hughes - The Hemlock Cup: Socrates, Athens and the Search for the Good Life
Written by Bettany Hughes.
Socrates lived in a city that nurtured the key ingredients of contemporary civilisation - democracy, liberty, science, drama, rational thought- yet, as he wrote nothing in his lifetime, he himself is an enigmatic figure. \"The Hemlock Cup\" tells his story, setting him in the context of the Eastern Mediterranean that was his home, and dealing with him as he himself dealt with the world.
Socrates debates with the young men of Athens, suggesting that their future may lie in a simpler life of good.
A Pier production for BBC Radio 4.
