Today we continued to watch the boring movie on the Greeks. The video talked about Socrates and how the Athenians went to war with an island off of Sicily and after that everyone was angry and they went after Socrates. Socrates was arrested for corrupting the minds of the youth and undermining religion. Also the Athenian generals after the Spartans won were put to death by drinking hemlock. Before all this happen things were changing and people started to use science and were using logic instead of relying on the gods. When the Spartans and Athens went to war a third of Athens were killed by the Plague. Pericles died from this disease in 429 BC.
