In any case, author Corby does a fairly decent job of interweaving his fictional sleuth and activities with real-life personages (his amateur sleuth is a made-up brother for the real Socrates, who's a teenaged boy in this, and makes this the 2nd Ancient Greek sleuthy famous philosopher-related series that I know of, the other being Margaret Doody's Aristotle books which one day I'll have to try).
Thanks, added to my TBR list. Library has the series available.
