'Consider just this, and give your minds to this alone: whether or
not what I say is just' Plato's account of Socrates' trial and
death (399 BC) is a significant moment in Classical literature and
the life of Classical Athens. In these four dialogues, Plato
develops the Socratic belief in responsibility for one's self and
shows Socrates living and dying under his philosophy. In Euthyphro,
Socrates debates goodness outside the courthouse; Apology sees him
in court, rebutting all charges of impiety; in Crito, he refuses an
entreaty to escape from prison; and in Phaedo, Socrates faces his
impending death with calmness and skilful discussion of
immortality. Christopher Rowe's introduction to his powerful new
translation examines the book's themes of identity and
confrontation, and explores how its content is less historical fact
than a promotion of Plato's Socratic philosophy.
