Dear reader, if you have ever wondered what happens to us when we pass away, then "Socrates and Hades" will provoke your thoughts. Set in Athens in 432 B.C., during the reign of Governor Pericles, the city is in high spirits. Hades, god of the Underworld, descends upon Athens, curious to discover how people truly feel about him. And who better than the philosopher Socrates to provide the god with the answers he seeks?

But when gods intervene in the affairs of mortals, chaos ensues. Hades ultimately finds himself falling in love with a mortal- the beautiful Hippareti who is set to marry the charming (yet philandering) Alciviades.

Will Hades succeed in winning the heart of his beloved?

In this comedy of death, gods and mortals explore a world of love and fear, in their pursuit for immortality.
