If you were to travel back in time to Ancient Greece, what year would you pick and why?

A specific year? I suppose at some point between 440 - 399 BC during Socrates' peak. He is one of the most intriguing Ancient Greek historical figures to me. I would like to see first hand what and how he taught. In the same time span, I would be able to also meet Democritus and see how he developed his atom theory.

Alternatively, in 479 BC the year in which the Battles of Platea and Mycale against the Persians took place, supposedly in the very same day, and it was essentially the final victory against the Persian invasion. I suppose that must have been a very euphoric year to live in, full of hope after the despair of Thermopylae one year prior.

And if I stayed there for five-ten years after 479 I would also be able to see Pericles in his prime, cos I kinda have a crush on him.
