Your cart is empty.Socrates was a classical Greek (Athenian) philosopher credited as one of the founders of Western philosophy. He is an enigmatic figure known chiefly through the accounts of classical writers, especially the writings of his students Plato and Xenophon and the plays of his contemporary Aristophanes. Plato's dialogues are among the most comprehensive accounts of Socrates to survive from antiquity, though it is unclear the degree to which Socrates himself is "hidden behind his 'best disciple', Plato".( 10 04 164) Details: Condition: New, reproduction handmade in Greece.

Perfect, even if small, bust of Socrates in a classic version. How about a version twice this big?

This head bust is solid, heavy for it's size and well made. I was extremely satisfied.

Very good image. The only reason. I gave 4 stars is the engraving on the base is almost unreadable due to faulty engraving. To bad. I am not sending it back to Greece! Other than that, quite nice

Was a gift for my son's new apartment. It was just what he asked for.

The actual bust is much smaller than expected; much of the advertised height is the stand. Also, the likeness is very poor.

I am stunned...! I ordered this little statue on 9/3/2020 with the understanding that it would be delivered sometime between 9/25/2020 and October 10/22/2020. So...today, 9/8/2020, the package containing this statue showed up on my front porch. Five day delivery from Athens by DHL...unbelievable...! To top this, the statue is incredibly beautiful, far more stunning than I had imagined. “Thank you” is inadequate, but thank you nonetheless....

Great quality, as in the pictures. The package arrived super fast 2 or 3 days after I order it! I love it.

The statue, despite it's unimposing size, is visually impressive ... if not stunning. The artistic merit and sculptural integrity of the piece exceeded my expectations. It arrived promptly and was packaged securely and neatly. This superbly rendered likeness of my favorite philosopher, with his inspiring words written on the base, will encourage me as I strive to actualize the ideals he stood for.
