Apology(Plato)
The Apology of Socrates (Ancient Greek: Ἀπολογία Σωκράτους, Apología Sokrátous; Latin: Apologia Socratis), written by Plato, is a Socratic dialogue that records the speech Socrates gave in court to defend himself during his trial in 399 BC. He was accused of two crimes: corrupting the youth of Athens and not believing in the gods that the city honored, but instead believing in other spiritual beings that were new or different. This work is one of the main sources describing the trial and death of the philosopher Socrates.
