CYBER DAY THREE
There were generals that conducted war over sea and when they came back they thought they were going to be thanked for being a hero but instead they were all thrown into prison. The Athenian commanders sailed back to Athens and didn't pick up any of the fallen soldiers because of a storm. The failure to rescue the men was ruled to be such a bad crime that all the generals should be executed. Socrates tried to stand against the assembly and was the only one. Socrates tried to stand up for the generals but the angry citizens didn't agree. Socrates questioned the society he lived in because he felt there was no more good in the society. He didn't bow to anyone or follow anyone's requests so it was him against all and couldn't sway the assembly. The generals were put to death by drinking poisonous hemlock. It was a loss to Athens war effort and they had no chance in wars anymore. The society had lost all effort and power and they wouldn't even fight for Socrates. After the disease, the society was a mess and there was no more drive to fight for anything leaving Socrates to question traditional beliefs.
