Socrates' Volcanic Wife Zenitpe
"Socrates' Volcanic Wife Zenitpe"
Who would have expected that the philosopher Socrates, who introduced the world to civilization, wisdom and the power of words, was surrounded by his wife's cries, ignorance and anxiety.
This woman's tongue was very sharp and biting, due to which her husband Socrates would leave the house every day at dawn and return home after sunset. That is, he did not face his wife - yet Socrates writes of her:
"I owe it to this woman, had it not been for her I would never have known that wisdom lies in silence and the secret of happiness lies in sleep."
He also says: I had to suffer three calamities:
Language, poverty, and my wife - Language I overcame through my hard work, poverty I overcame through economic planning, the third disaster is my wife which I could never overcome.
There is a mention of one time.. when he was sitting with his students and explaining the words of wisdom and wisdom, his wife started cursing and reprimanding Socrates in front of his students in a loud voice as usual, but this time He was surprised to see that the water also rained on him, so he wiped the water with a surprised face and said to the disciples:
"We should expect that if there is so much thunder, there will surely be rain afterwards."
Seeing Socrates so calm, content and quiet after this misbehavior, his wife suffered a heart attack and died-
Yes, you heard right, Socrates' wife died arguing with him. Her husband had a quiet disposition, cool nature and peace of mind.. but his wife was like a volcano.. due to which she suffered severe heart and shoulder pain and died that night.
