Socrates was a Greek philosopher and was one of the founders of Western philosophy. He was born in Athens and died in 399 BC, Athens. Socrates married Xanthippe, and they had 3 sons together, but he has very little to do with his sons. His wife was not happy with his second permission because she said it did not support the family enough. Since he lived in Athens, each male has to serve as citizen soldier. Socrates was the son of Sophroniscus, who was an Athenian stone mason and sculptor, and Phaenarete. Socrates worked as mason for awhile before he became a philosopher. He is known for creating Socratic irony and the Socratic method. He is best known for inventing the teaching practice of pedagogy. He is still well known today because he started that and it changed the world.
