Delphi

The article states he never left Athens although the general historical consensus is he visited Delphi at least once 91.140.15.141 (talk) 17:59, 19 May 2023 (UTC)

Maybe not the historical consensus but that’s what I was taught in school and what I’ve read regarding Socrates 2A01:CB05:62E:7300:D0B1:F080:DDB4:E7A9 (talk) 16:32, 19 June 2023 (UTC)

As well as military campaigns..as far as I know the statement is inaccurate Anonymous8206 (talk) 22:19, 5 November 2023 (UTC)

Lede

The opening sentence - the reference is National Geographic. Surely for a philosopher of this stature and notability a number of WP:SECONDARY sources could be provided? It is not as if he is little-known. 182.239.146.18 (talk) 10:24, 26 August 2023 (UTC)

I agree..there should be at least one other source to support for the first sentence of the article Anonymous8206 (talk) 00:11, 10 September 2023 (UTC)

Per WP:LEADFOLLOWSBODY, the lead should be a summary of the rest of the article, if the claims in the lead are justified elsewhere in the article with secondary sources, it's not necessary to also cite them in the lead. Do you dispute the claim that Socrates was a Greek philosopher from Athens who is credited as the founder of Western philosophy and among the first moral philosophers of the ethical tradition of thought, or think that others are likely to challenge it? It certainly seems accurate enough to me. - car chasm (talk) 00:27, 10 September 2023 (UTC)

I removed the reference. . No citation is needed at the lead. Cinadon36 09:07, 10 September 2023 (UTC)

Political climate

@Cinadon36: please explain how the political climate is relevant here. I don't think the paragraph that I removed does this. Thanks, Willbb234 13:05, 6 November 2023 (UTC)

hi @Willbb234. Apologies for the delay. I 'll try to reply as soon as I have some spare time. Cinadon36 08:41, 9 November 2023 (UTC)

Hi @Willbb234, Apologies for the late reply. The political climate is pivotal for grasping the trial of Socrates. A prevalent theory suggests that the trial was politically motivated, as elaborated within the section. It's crucial to provide readers with contextual information regarding the political climate of the time to fully comprehend the political argument presented in the article.Cinadon 36 07:34, 11 November 2023 (UTC)
