Socrates (Gr Σωκράτης) was accused of corrupting youths by promoting ideas of a One God, different than the 12 Gods worshiped at the time. However this was only the surface. The real reasons where that Socrates was that annoying fly that bothers you all the time and does not let you sleep. He liked calling himself "an annoying fly" and that was what he really was: with his continuous criticism of Athenian policy makers, he was destined to be exiled or killed someday... Socrates was always a philosopher focused on humans and on finding your inner self. "Know thy self" (γνώθι σε εαυτόν) is sometimes too much for people to handle...

What defense does Socrates offer against the charges of impiety and corruption of Athen's youth?
What defense does Socrates offer against the charges of impiety and corruption of Athens's youth? Socrates had two kinds of charges against him. 1) The Informal charges: He lead youth to investigate the physical world, so that they would not believe in the gods. He was accused of intentionally using bad arguments to do this. He was also accused of taking money for teaching others how to use this bad reasoning. 2) The Formal Charges: He was charged with corrupting the minds of the youth, and introducing them to new gods. Socrates defense to these charges were: 1) Socrates claimed that he had no interest in physical speculation, so he could not lead the youth to investigate the physical world. 2) He also claimed that he never accepted money from any one, and the young followed of their own will. I am not familiar with the second question, so I suggest that you post it again as a separate question and let someone else answer it. Good Luck!
