The real Socrates, it turns out, was a veteran of three different wars. Old school wars, the kind you fought with swords and horses.
Why do you think Plato left that out, so that no one knows that and everyone paints Plato's Socrates completely differently?
Well it's NOT left out actually, it's in The Charmides, but Philosophy 101 courses don't generally teach The Charmides.
Hmmm, how do you think Plato arranged for Philosophy 101 classes to avoid The Charmides?
