Potential political aspects of the prejudice against Socrates

Potential political aspects of the prejudice against Socrates

For your follow up, I will ask you to explore further the potential political aspects of the prejudice against Socrates. Socrates had associations with some of the 30 Tyrants and he had also offended some of them. What part do you think politics played in his trial? Some passages to consider would be Xenophon, Memorabilia 1.1.18; 1.2.24; 1.2.30-32 and Plato’s Apology 32c-d. Please refer to the previous order that I requested from you.
