They both have heroic ideals, both are stubborn in the sense that they are willing to die for what they believe in. They both stray from the norms of society
Socrates could be compared to other classical philosophers like Plato or Aristotle, as they all aimed to uncover truths about the world and human behavior through philosophical inquiry. Additionally, Socrates could be compared to modern-day philosophers who challenge conventional wisdom and provoke critical thinking, such as Friedrich Nietzsche or Michel Foucault.
Socrates compares himself to a gadfly, which is a biting fly that often acts as an irritant to horses and cattle, in his defense during his trial in Athens. He argues that, like the gadfly's role of awakening and prodding the lazy animals to move and improve, his philosophical questioning serves to challenge and stimulate the minds of Athenians towards greater wisdom and self-examination.
Socrates compared himself to a gadfly in relation to the city of Athens. Just as a gadfly stings a lazy horse to make it move and act with purpose, Socrates believed his philosophical inquiries provoked and challenged the citizens of Athens to engage in critical thinking and self-reflection.
One was Socrates, a philosophically ingenious man who taught children in Athens, and was eventually imprisoned and killed by his enemies. Another was Lycurgus, who reformed the constitution of Sparta to make the populace less idle and capable of amazing military achievements. A third was Achilles. Achilles was the Greek hero of the Trojan War. He didn't fight for a long while during the war, but when he did, he killed masses of Trojans, finishing with Prince Hector. As retribution for his brother's death, Prince Paris shot Achilles with a poisoned arrow, which killed him.
Achilles
Alexander and Achilles live in different ages.... -Actually they are a bit. Alexander thought of Achilles as a warrior idol. Nothing more nothing less. Achilles is a sort of mythological hero. We can not say for certain that Achilles really was an existing person. He only appears in a few scripts and also in Homer's "Illiad",where he was the main hero of the Trojan war. His exellency in battle and strategy, in addition to his mythological gift of his armor, made him a great hero to the people's minds. Thus Alexander the Great used to compare himself to Achilles and often trying to reach his military greatfulness. ''' '''
Odysseus did not kill Achilles. Paris killed Achilles.
