In this stirring performance of Socrates Now, Emmy Award-winner Yannis Simonides brings to life the timeless wisdom of the ancient philosopher Socrates. Drawing from Plato’s Apology, Simonides explores one of Socrates' most powerful beliefs:

“Virtue is not acquired with money, but rather money and all material goods, public or private, are the result of virtue.”

Through riveting monologue and dialogue, this performance challenges us to reflect on what it means to live a good life — one grounded not in wealth, but in wisdom, courage, and justice.

🔹 A modern encounter with ancient truth
🔹 Socratic questioning brought to the stage
🔹 Inspiring message on integrity and moral clarity

This performance is a must-watch for anyone seeking deeper meaning, ethical reflection, and a connection to the enduring values of classical philosophy.
