His Pericles nephew as well.

Um, very charismatic of incredibly good orator basically gets everything he wants and everyone's in love with him, whether it's men or women.

um in 399 bc socrates is going to be executed for impiety and corrupting the youth for saying things like uh you know if the gods really are here they're far and just they're distant and far away right so you have these two different sects of society and probably you have these niche you probably really what it is is it's a small niche of society the socratics and the other philosophers that question whether or not the gods really even exist but all the rest of athenian society is extremely religious extremely pious
