Socrates and Confucius (孔子) in discussion.
The sculpture of course enjoys artistic freedom in placing the two together.
Parthenon
Now this is a lecture hall!
"Prison of Socrates".
Not probably the exact spot where Socrates spent the very end of his life, but close enough.
Socrates was convicted to death by a democratic jury with the accusations of corrupting the youth, being an atheist and believing the wrong gods.
Athens in February: not hot, not crowded, great for sightseeing.
Saw the ruins of the Lyceum of Aristotles and the quite underwhelming 😂 park where Plato's academy used to be, and the "Prison of Socrates", among other.
Lots of history, cats, vegan restaurants.
