Question:

If socrates arrived in athens today could he make himself understood?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

Probably not. Modern Greek is very different from the classic Greek used in the time of Plato.

Given Socrates' genius, though, it's possible he could have figured out a way to overcome the language barrier...
