The Personality of Socrates

Hello! We have discussed his trial, his view on education, his views on death and on love. We also have gotten a glimpse of his personality. In this essay I would like you to choose 1 or 2 aspects of his personality, and explain why this has had such a captivating effect throughout history. In other words, I want you to explain “Why we are still interested in Socrates today?” When using a quote and talking about the texts , please only talk about (dont need to talk about all of them, just whats necessary to answer question) Symposium, Allegory of the Cave, and Apology.
