Socrates (469–399 BC) was one of the most influential philosophers of ancient Greece—a thinker whose ideas laid the foundation for Western philosophy. Known for his method of questioning and dialogue, he challenged assumptions and encouraged critical thinking, pushing people to examine their own beliefs. Though he left no written works, his teachings survive through the writings of his students, particularly Plato. Famous for his pursuit of wisdom and his fearless commitment to truth, Socrates was ultimately sentenced to death for "corrupting the youth" and disrespecting the gods. His legacy endures through his timeless reflections on knowledge, virtue, and the examined life.
At Delphi Fair, we offer t-shirts featuring quotes from influential figures of ancient Greece and Rome. Our collections explore a range of timeless themes. Each t-shirt in the Socrates Collection features a graphic of the legendary philosopher, paired with one of his most famous quotes—whether a direct quote or one attributed to him. His name is included, along with the approximate time period of the quote’s origin, or if that is unknown, the time when he lived.
Additionally, we’ve added a short text on the inner label explaining the context of the quote, its creator, and its meaning. This ensures that your t-shirt delivers both a powerful message and a brief historical insight, honoring the mind behind the words.
