I had a sneaky suspicion socrates wasn't as peaceful as his white toga suggested but I knew for sure Plato had a wee hobbie of making and using war machines including a giant magnifying glass to burn Roman ships (he must have played with ants as a boy). So I picked this.
I mean when you think of Plato you imagine him asking people awkward questions or sitting in deep thought. Not caving in peoples heads with a sword.

sry mate but thats Archimedes of Syracuse...
Btw. Sokrates was a veteran of the pelopenessian war and served as heavy hoplite for Athens... So he was also a good soldier, not just a good philosopher... So i'd say your name is still quite fine even if he didnt invent the catapuilt, Archimedian Claw, Fire Mirror etc..
