He was married to xanthippe and had two sons. He fought in the peloponnesian war: known as a weird outcast but was a good athenian, law abiding citaen. As epistates of the prytanies he refused to try the generals of the battle of the arginusae as a group. Boulee 500 determines what they agglessia (assembly) deals with: 10 months in the athenian calendar they fill in the remaining 2 with random shit that serves the government. 406 bce the peloponnesian war: arginusae was the smallest set of islands but the most important win for athens, there was a storm and a group of militants abandoned people to rescue. Want to try these people as a group: socrates said there was a legal procedure to try people separately in front of the assembly, not as a group. C(cid:396)eated a(cid:374)d p(cid:396)ote(cid:272)ted (cid:271)(cid:455) olo(cid:374)(cid:859)s la(cid:449)s: the epistates removed socrates. Shows that socrates was a good law-abiding citzen.
