Apology, Crito, and Phaedo of Socrates

Apology, Crito, and Phaedo of Socrates is a classic collection of philosophy essays by Plato. Of all writers of philosophy, there is probably no one who has attained such a lofty position as Plato. What Homer was to Epic poetry, what Cicero and Demosthenes were to oratory, and what Shakespeare was to the drama of England, Plato was to ancient philosophy, not unapproachable nor unapproached, but possessing an inexplicable supremacy. Translated by Henry Cary.
