The Death of Socrates by Jacques-Louis David (1787)
Socrates the Greek philosopher from Athens sits waiting and preparing to face his death as his wife cries beside him.
The old man at the foot of the bed is Plato despite the fact he'd have been a young pupil of Socrates at the time.
Socrates was know for saying “The only true wisdom is in knowing that you know nothing” in the face of the theists of the day.
Meletus accused Socrates of atheism. Socrates is then said to have noted the contradiction between atheism and worshipping false gods in an effort to seek sense from his accusers.
He's then said to have claimed that he is "God's gift" to the Athenians seeking freedom of thought & discussion.
The jurors of his trial favoured the death penalty, which he accepted & lived out as bravely as he could for his followers.
Here they surround him through his final moment's, many still argue over his death & the justifications made at for it.
He'd lead others to finally, think for themselves

Joint-Burrial of a Scythian Husband & Wife located in Ternopoil, Ukraine 🇺🇦
(c.1000 bc)
The Ancient Greeks named Scythia (or Great Scythia) to all of the lands northeast of Europe and the northern coast of the black sea.
Scythian culture and identity flourished during the Iron age.
The Scythians was a term used by the Greeks' to refer to a nomadic clan.
Like so many interesting chapters of western history it's been ignored and lost beneath the headlines and newsreels of today.
Excavation was made in 1998
