Did Socrates really almost drown somebody?
Post Body
There's a story of Socrates and the youth who asked for wisdom. Something like: Socrates took the boy into some water, and held him under until the boy stopped struggling, then said "when you want wisdom like you wanted air, you will not have to ask". It's a great story, but I can never find a reliable source. Is the story genuine?
