O Noble Socrate: On "Corrupting The Youth"

 The parable of Socrates outlined in the book by Plato "The Republic" has confused consternated and clarified intellectuality for thousands of years. We read in "The Republic", a book by Plato on the trial and execution of Socrates, that Socrates was told to drink the hemlock in a prison cell in Athens. There are so many questions to the old parable of the transcriptions of Plato, I could go on for ages! But I'd like to ask anybody out there who has a cursory knowledge of Plato's "Republic". What is really going on in the end of Socrates's life? We know that Socrates' friends paid off the prison guards and attempted to give Socrates free escape into exodus. We look at the trial on the charges against Socrates of corrupting the youth. Right? Well let's put two and two together here real quick. We know that early on philosophers and sophists were given a career at private tutoring in ancient Athens. We also know that many in Greece at the time held the viewpoint that knowledge and wisdom could be transmitted from teacher to student how? Through sexuality. Early Athenians truly did believe that having a tutor have sex with their student could impart knowledge and wisdom.  Socrates must have had a job as a tutor in ancient Greece, guaranteed. There are numerous examples of Socrates' homosexual flirtatiousness. So as we put two and two together here in this short diatribe, merely echoing something I had said recently at some point. What we have to conclude is that the charges of corrupting the youth had much to do with Socrates having sex with underage males. A lot of people don't pick up on that queue. Many just write it off to Socrates being a gadfly.  But I say to you today Socrates was put to death by drinking poison known as hemlock in his prison cell in Athens simply because of one main sin of Socrates. The sin of homosexual underage fornication. All hail Caesar. Somebody should have told old socrates to render unto Caesar what is Caesars.
