How did Socrates and Caesar pronounce their names? - a response to Conan O'Brien

Conan O'Brien doesn't believe it's possible to determine the pronunciation of Latin or Ancient Greek! In this video, I set out to persuade him, thanks to the help of Jordan Schlansky, that it is indeed possible, and also teach the pronunciation of famous historical figures like Caesar, Socrates, Cicero, Plato, Brutus, Aristotle, and others as they may have pronounced their very own names.
