(古希腊哲学家)苏格拉底
an ancient Greek philosopher (= a person who studies the meaning of life)
Speak of Greek antiquity, and most people will call to mind the golden age of 5th century BC Athens - the time of Socrates, Plato, Thucydides, Sophocles, and Pericles. 谈到古希腊时期,大多数人会想到公元前5世纪的雅典黄金时代——也就是苏格拉底、柏拉图、修昔底德、索福克勒斯和伯里克利的时代。
