Ἀπολογία Σωκράτους

by Plato (Πλάτων)

Plato's *Apology of Socrates* is a philosophical dialogue that recounts the trial of Socrates before the Athenian court. Accused of impiety and corrupting the youth, Socrates defends himself with a powerful and eloquent speech, arguing for the importance of pursuing truth and wisdom, even at the cost of personal safety. The work explores themes of justice, truth, and the nature of virtue, providing a glimpse into the philosophical and political landscape of ancient Athens.
