Apology

Plato's Apology records Socrates' defense speech at his 399 BCE trial, where he answers charges of impiety and corrupting the youth. The dialogue showcases the Socratic method, Socrates' ethical steadfastness, and his critique of Athenian values, and it is a foundational text for Western philosophy and the study of ethics and rhetoric.
