hope you are wanting......DEATH...or what he left to carry

on...from Socrates death he was counted to be one of historys earliest

martyrs of conscience and his words were carried on through time by Plato

and then by Aristotle. So by "etymology" i give to you history

...do you need more?? or different??

Hmm....Not quiet sure, but

Justkiknback No

Nice guess, but think of one thing that is common to all 6. They all are clues to one concept. Just like my last one all point to one common theme. So Socrates is only a pointer to the concept, and while it describes his death it is not the overall theme it only points to the theme. I hope this helps.

EDM No, but I see where you are going and reading it over I can see your reasoning

Shakeepuddn No to both

Your first guess is going in the right direction

Socrates accused

Death by hemlock

-- Reference to what Socates was accused of which denying the gods of the city state and making up new gods, which a then corrupting the youth.

Battered and brusied

So rejection of the ROOSTER --- c0ck

-This is a reference to feminist movement, especially the militant feminists which has some of its roots in atheism.

Implicitly found weak

Absence by degree

Explicitly found strong

Absence by decree

-These two verses reference the implicit/weak atheism which has a measured approach to denying god which can be said to be like that of the agnostic, and then the explicit/strong atheism that says there absolutely is no god, creator with a religious fervor.

Rejecting blind obedience

For what is found in the petri

-Atheist reject the blind obedience to a creator(s) and rely more so on what is found in science i.e. the petri dish.

No telos just happenstance

No Demiurge found in this etymology

-No telos is greek for purpose, so atheism believes in no purpose, just happenstance, and Demiurge is the biggest clue, which is Greek for creator deity.

Good job Shakeepuddn I hope you guys enjoyed it. I will work on some more.

Shakeepuddn - correct
