Finally finished translating the Apology of Socrates. I have learned that, aside from being an annoying bastard, Socrates was also the funniest bitch in ancient Athens. When facing the death penalty and asked what alternate punishment he should be given he really went “Actually, I think the government should give me free meals for the rest of my life.” like if I was a juror I would be like we have to acquit him I don’t care how often he bothers me in the agora he’s too funny to kill.
