The Hemlock Cup by Bettany Hughes.. The truth about a man as storied as Socrates may consist more in asking the right questions (Socratic method, anyone?) than in sharpening academic scalpels. Here, Hughes combines scholarship, archeology and history to shape an intriguing inquiry. – Joel Gardner, LitSnap Editor |
