A. Socrates was famous for asking "What is it?" questions, such as what is virtue? What is justice? When people came up with the standard answers of the time, he picked their reasoning apart. For example, when he asked one young Greek what justice was and the answer that it was whatever the strongest could pull off, he put that answer to shame.

Q. Because he said the same thing about Greece, Lebanon and Damascus. Were these lands also "without people"? "From Athens all through the islands of the Grecian Archipelago, we saw little but forbidden sea-walls and barren hills, sometimes surmounted by three or four graceful columns of some ancient temples, lonely and deserted---a fitting symbol of desolation that has come upon all Greece in these latter ages. We saw no ploughed fields, very few villages, no trees or grass or vegetation of any kind, scarcely, and hardly ever an isolated house. Greece is a bleak, unsmiling desert, without agriculture, manufactures, or commerce, apparently." "Damascus is beautiful from the mountain. It is beautiful even to foreigners… [cont.]
