Blurb: “TRANSLATED BY HUGH TREDENNICK
The trial and condemnation of Socrates (469-399 B.C.), on charges of heresy and corrupting the minds of the young, forms one of the most tragic episodes in the history of Athens in decline. In the four works which compose this volume-Euthyphro, The Apology, Crito, and Phaedo - Plato, his most devoted disciple, has preserved for us the essence of his teaching and the logical system of question and answer he perfected in order to define the nature of virtue and knowledge. The vindication of Socrates and the pathos of his death are admirably conveyed in Hugh Tredennick's modern trans-lation.”
