Publisher's Summary

The Trial and the Death of Socrates remains a powerful document not least because it gives a first-hand account of the end of one of the greatest figures in history.

In Apology, Socrates defends himself before the Athenian court against charges of corrupting youth. Phaedo is the account by a young man of the actual last words and moments of Socrates.

Tom Griffith presents these with scene-setting introductions to the historical situation in this new translation.

Translated by Tom Griffith.

Brilliant!

Gad-flies, which we desperately need to save us from ourselves, oddly enough, are the ones needed to be saved by us from ourselves.

Last words of Socrates, according to Plato, "Crito, we owe a cock to Asclepius. Please, don't forget to pay the debt.
