@g_g0g_g: The painting shows Socrates drinking poison because he was given the choice of either abandoning his Beliefs (because he encouraged young people to think critically and question prevailing beliefs. He was challenging traditional rulers and philosophers, which some saw as a threat to the social order) or being exec'uted, and he chose exec'ution and specified the method, which was drinking poison to be a symbol of steadfastness and constancy #socrates #philosophy #drawing #painting #science
