Summary of the charges against Socrates: USE THIS SUMMARY TO CREATE YOUR POWERPOINT PRESENTATATION:

? SOCRATES DEFENSE—

1. He teaches people to disbelieve the gods—a charge suggested in Aristophanes’ play Clouds, Socrates is portrayed as an

atheist. He corrupts the young; he infuses in them a spirit of criticism—Socrates did attract attention from wealthy young

men in Athens as he cross-examined prominent citizens in the marketplace. It’s quite possible he occasionally accepted

some support from them. In his examination of statesmen, poets, and artisans, he reveals that they do not know what they

claim to know. In any case, by his questioning of authority, he had an effect on the young.
