Socrates was at the Port of Piraeus to see some festivities. He soon turned and began to walk home to Athens. However, Polemarchus, son of Cephalus, and seen him and sent his slave running to tug on the old man's tunic and bid him to stay. So Socrates waited. Polemarchus soon caught up, and asked Socrates to stay. Socrates tried to leave but Polemarchus threatened him- "Do you see how many I have brought with me? We will overpower you and force you to stay, at least until the after the horse-race and a nice light supper."
Socrates was considered the most persuasive, rational man in the world. "Isn't there any way I can convince you to let an old man go home?"
"No, because whatever you're saying, we're not going to listen to it."
Not, by far, the only Socrates reference buried in a Soundgarden song.
