(a picture of Socrates dying by Hemlock)

                 Socrates is an ancient Greek philosopher, his method of asking questions to discover the truth that problems can be salved with thinking and human reasoning is the Socrates method. Socrates lived (470-399 BC) and was a Greek philosopher who, despite being considered one of the greatest and most important philosophers who ever lived, left no writings at all. Most of what we know about his life and work comes from the writings of his disciples, Plato and Xenophon. He lived during a period of transition in the Greek empire, and after the Peloponnesian War, he was tried, convicted, and executed for corrupting the young minds by questioning God.Killed by hemlock(a flower) which can make poison. A group of people tried to stop it, but he did not go as he chose to take his punishment.

This is a column shaft from the Temple of Artemis at Sardis, from 4th century B.C. and it is made of Marble, standing at a hight of 361 cm. Parts of the column were found during excavations done from 1911 through 1914 at Sardis the ancient capital of Lydia in southern Turkey. This column was once part of the Temple of Artemis one of the cities of western Asia Minor.
