What can a father do when his son, Socrates, befriends the notorious Alcibiades and enters the perilous world of affluence in classical Athens?

It is during his mid-life years that Socrates emerges as a figure that is both revered and reviled, and initially manages to avoid the fate of so many others that rose to prominence. With the Peloponnesian War and disease raging, simply surviving is an exceptional accomplishment in itself, but is it enough?

This first book in the ‘Sophronismos’ series is a work of historical fiction that is intended for those interested in history, philosophy, and biographies. Fans of non-fiction will also find extensive information about daily life and events of the time that should satiate your need for factual knowledge. This book tells a story that is entertaining and moving, incorporating passionate moments and timeless themes.
