He was an Athenian landowner and therefore of the warrior class, fighting in several campaigns during the war between Athens and its allies and Sparta and its allies 431-404 BCE. He served on the Athenian Council, and was in fact presiding over it on at least one critical occasion. He was also a philosopher who was lampooned in a comedy, The Clouds. He tried to get people to think for themselves, which got him out of favour with the ruling clique after the war. He was convicted of impiety (mandatory death sentence) but chose to suicide rather than be execusted.
