Assassin's Creed Odyssey lets players spend time with renowned philosopher Sokrates - but it also lets us meet his surprisingly younger and outspoken wife, Xanthippe. Sources are clear that Sokrates valued her independent mind and argumentative nature. This raises the interesting question, to what extent was Sokrates’ worldview influenced and shaped by Xanthippe’s honest companionship?
Prof Michael Griffin helps Tristan Hughes to understand this dynamic relationship. Watch Michael's videos about philosophy on the Delphic Philosophy YouTube channel.
