Project #2: POLIS: The Trial of Socrates, Part II
What it’s about: a three-part historical graphic novel that takes place in ancient Athens. It’s the story of how one of the greatest free thinkers in the ancient world was executed by the era’s most democratic city. It also tells the story of how his student Plato transformed from an aristocratic politician into the founder of Western philosophy. Chapter 2, The Gadfly: Four years have passed since the democratic exiles took the city back from Critias and the Thirty Tyrants, and Athens is at peace for the first time in a generation. Aristocles (Plato) has made a name for himself in the city, and he is set to run for political office. And Socrates continues to question his fellow citizens in the agora about their ideas an assumptions. But anger about the past and ambition for the future will soon overturn the lives of both men.
