Book Description HTML

The Apology is Plato's version of the speech given by Socrates as he unsuccessfully defended himself in 399 BC[1] against the charges of "corrupting the young, and by not believing in the gods in whom the city believes, but in other daimonia that are novel" (24b). "Apology" here has its earlier meaning (now usually expressed by the word "apologia") of speaking in defense of a cause or of one's beliefs or actions (from the Ancient Greek ἀπολογία).

    Read the book years ago and lost my copy in an inter-continent move. Saw the (various) movies - and the BBC series Hannay - did lights for the play. It's great to have it in ePub format.

    I agree with both Allen Bain, and Stephanie Peterkin. It was a real page turner.
