once again I have to remind everyone that his trial wasn’t for some BS like being annoying. but because he was antidemocratic, and his students did an foreign led coup, ended democracy killed 10% of Athens, and ran away 8 month later.
He was held responsible and never denounced them. He likely wasn’t as innocent as we think he was.
Thank you for the details, I never knew that. Plato was himself not in a good place though, in sicily he pissed off the ruler and got sold into slavery, one of the fans of his writing bought him and allowed him to continue not being a slave, as I understand it.
