  1. Socrates himself never wrote any of his ideas down, but rather engaged his students -- wealthy young men of Athens -- in endless conversations.  In exchange for his teaching, they in turn made sure that he was taken care of.

    Number 1 I would say is false because he never wrote anything down.

    Socrates  (470-399) was the son of a sculptor and a midwife, and served with distinction in the Athenian army during Athens’ clash with Sparta.  He married, but had a tendency to fall in love with handsome young men, in particular a young soldier named Alcibiades.  He was, by all accounts, short and stout, not given to good grooming, and a lover of wine and conversation.  His famous student, Plato, called him “the wisest, and justest, and best of all men whom I have ever known”

    Plato was Socrates most famous student so number 2 is false


  2. 1. totally false, everything we know about socrates we have learned from the writings of plato

    2. again false, plato was more famous than aristotle.

  3. 1 true

    2 false he was plato student

    I stand corrected on the first answer but stand by the second

    sorry Michell for the confussion they are both false
