Socrates was born in Athens, Greece. He married Xanthippe, who was an ill-tempered, hard to live with woman. It is believed that he had more than two children.

Socrates taught in streets, the market place, and in gyms. He often questioned his listeners and showed them how inadequate their answers were. Many people disliked him because of his unorthodox teachings and disregard for public opinion.
