Socrates Drank the Conium is a Greek
progressive/blues rock band that was active
in the early 1970s. Their sound was
reminiscent of other such bands of the
approximate period like the Jimi Hendrix
Experience, Led Zeppelin, Cream, Jeff Beck
and some of the more progressive,
experimental works of Black Sabbath. Their
categorization as "progressive" can be
attributed mainly to their abundant use of
less-than-conventional time signatures. The
Group would go through many lineup changes
throughout the years, but the two core
members have remained: guitarist Yannis
Spathas and bassist/singer Antonis
Tourkoyorgis
History
Socrates (as the somewhat ponderous name is
often abbreviated) began its career in the
clubs of Athens. Most prominent of these was
the popular Kyttaro. They were present at a
number of other locations in and around
Victoria Square in Athens. Apart from playing
many original songs at gigs, Socrates often
covered Jimi Hendrix songs, none of which
were featured on any studio releases.
However, a thirteen-minute cover of (I Can't
Get No) Satisfaction by the Rolling Stones
found its way onto their 1972 album Taste of
Conium. The guitarist, Yannis Spathas,
favored a mid-1960's sunburst Fender
Stratocaster, a Candy Apple Red Roland GR-505
guitar synthesizer and a black Gibson Les
Paul Custom as his instruments, Antonis
Tourkoyorgis played a mid-1970's natural
ash-bodied Fender Jazz Bass and sang, while
several drummers were used throughout the
live shows and recording sessions. As a
whole, the three-piece outfit resembled that
of Cream: counterparts Spathas and Clapton,
singer/bassists Tourkoyorgis and Bruce and
drummers Boukouvalas and Baker.
In 1974, Socrates went through a change in
stylistic direction with "Phos" which was
produced by Vangelis and featured his
contribution on many tracks. Phos was mostly
reworkings of older songs by Socrates.
During 2006 Socrates reunited in an extended
form (featuring keyboards and a second
singer) to do several shows around Athens.

| The Trial and Death of Socrates |
 |
A depiction of the last days of Socrates - an
event which marks the historical emergence of
philosophy.
Socrates is an individual who claims that the
source of moral integrity cannot be said to
reside in the traditional customs, practices
and forms of life of the community. Rather,
he demands that the source of moral
legitimacy must lie in the appeal to
universality. It must have a universal form:
what is justice? The philosopher does not ask
'what is justice for the Athenians?' or `What
is justice for the Spartans?', but rather
focuses on justice in general, seeking its
underlying validity. By doing so, Socrates
establishes the lines of transmission that
lead from individuality to universality, from
the intellect to the forms - a route which
by-passes the particular, the communal, the
traditional, as well as conventional views of
ethical and political life.
Socrates' death in the name of this ideal
marks the historical emergence of philosophy,
since out of the dying Socrates emerges the
condition of possibility for
de-traditionalization. It announces the
imperative that continues to drive
philosophy, critique, which consists in the
refusal to recognize the legitimacy of
tradition without that tradition having first
submitted itself to critical methodological
interrogation.
