After the oligarchy was overthrown and democracy was restored, Plato briefly considered a career in politics, but the execution of Socrates in 399 B.C.E. soured him on this idea and he turned to a life of study and philosophy.As a young man, Plato experienced a life event that set his course and influence his philosophy in life. It was meeting the great Greek philosopher Socrates.
