I see that what is more close to a 'mythicist' position on Socrates has been advanced seriously by a scholar;
Olof Gigon: Sokrates, sein Bild in Dichtung und Geschichte
Fortunately it has been translated in Italian and so I can read it.
It seems (while I write I have not yet the book) that the historicity strictu senso of the man is not denied, but the his presumed "influence" is emptied so totally that he could be One, No One and One Hundred Thousand (to quote Pirandello).
