Ἀπολογία Σωκράτους (The Apology of Socrates in Ancient Greek)

by Plato (Πλάτων)

The Apology of Socrates, written by Plato, recounts the defense speech given by the philosopher Socrates before the Athenian court. Facing accusations of impiety and corrupting the youth, Socrates eloquently defends his life's work as a seeker of truth and examines the nature of justice, virtue, and the pursuit of knowledge. The text captures the essence of Socratic philosophy and its impact on the Athenian society, culminating in a powerful exploration of the meaning of life and the acceptance of death.
