Question Answered step-by-step After Socrates has been convicted, he is asked to suggest his own… After Socrates has been convicted, he is asked to suggest his own sentence for his so-called crimes. His first suggestion is “to be fed in the Prytaneum,” the place where Olympic victors feasted. The reason he gives for this “punishment” is: “The Olympian victor makes you think yourself happy; I make you be happy” (36d-e).What does Socrates mean? How does he make the citizens of Athens happy? What is the difference between “thinking yourself happy” and “being happy”? Is Socrates himself happy in the sense he is talking about here? Explain your answer.
