Socrates stands out as one of Western philosophy's most influential founders, a classical Greek philosopher hailing from Athens. His legacy is shrouded in mystery, mostly known through the writings of his contemporaries, notably Plato and Xenophon, and the works of Aristophanes. Plato's dialogues offer some of the most detailed accounts of Socrates' life, yet it remains uncertain how much of Socrates himself shines through beyond his most renowned student, Plato. This bust's origins are a mystery, and few depictions of Socrates show him with a full head of hair, unlike this one.
