The author, who started to write about Socrates many years ago, dedicates this paper to Prof. Antonio Tovar, of whom he was a disciple, and reflects on how much has been written and thought since then. Socrates did not have a doctrine, he only sought rational support for traditional beliefs in fixed virtues. Starting from this premise, he tried to create a new idea of divinity, which actually reached its peak with Plato. He also used age-old oral and sapiential literature as a source.
