Bettany Hughes discusses her book 'The Hemlock Cup'
Bettany Hughes is one of our best-known broadcasters, and a specialist in ancient Mediterranean history. This talk is based on her book ‘The Hemlock Cup’, a New York Times Bestseller. Its Athenian subject, Socrates, contributed to a city that nurtured key ingredients of contemporary civilisation – democracy, liberty, science, drama, rational thought – yet, as he wrote nothing in his lifetime, he himself is an enigmatic figure. Bettany followed in the footsteps of Socrates across Greece and Asia Minor to shed new light on his world.
