Apology by Plato –
The
Apology of Socrates (Greek: Ἀπολογία Σωκράτους,
Apología Sokrátous; Latin:
Apologia Socratis), written by Plato, is a Socratic dialogue of the speech of legal self-defence which Socrates (469–399 BC) spoke at his trial for impiety and corruption in 399 BC.
Specifically, the
Apology of Socrates is a defence against the charges of ‘corrupting the youth’ and ‘not believing in the gods in whom the city believes, but in other
daimonia that are novel’ to Athens (24b).
Among the primary sources about the trial and death of the philosopher Socrates, the
Apology of Socrates is the dialogue that depicts the trial, and is one of four Socratic dialogues, along with
Euthyphro,
Phaedo, and
Crito, through which Plato details the final days of the philosopher Socrates.
