_________________________
The Apology (Ἀπολογία) presents the trial of Socrates (Σωκράτους) against the charge of impiety and corruption of the youths of Athens. This is his defence and his final statement to his accusers. It took place in 399 BCE, and it is said that Plato was there. Nevertheless, Benjamin Jowett, Master of Balliol College, Oxford, and translator, comment that was "Some passages may reflect the actual words of Socrates. The Apology is an ideal rather than a literal truth." Jowett writes "It is an elaborate conposition, quite as much so in fact as one of the Dialogues. It is true to the character of Socrates, it breathes the spirit of Socrates, but has been cast anew in the mould of Plato."
