And I must beg of. If you hear me using the same. I have been in the habit of using, and which. I would ask you not to be surprised at this, and not. Never mind the manner, which may or may not be. For I have had many accusers. I am more afraid of them than of Anytus and his associates. But far more dangerous are these. Socrates, a wise man, who speculated about. These are the accusers whom I dread; for they. This is a list of wars and anthropogenic disasters by death toll.

You don't know about me without you have read a book by the name of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer; but that ain't no matter. That book was made by Mr. Mark Twain, and he told the truth, mainly. There was things which he. And they are. many, and their charges against me are of ancient date, and they made them. But the main body of these slanderers who. I say, are most difficult to deal with; for I cannot have them. I must simply fight with shadows. I will. ask you then to assume with me, as I was saying, that my opponents are. I hope that you will. But I know. that to accomplish this is not easy - I quite see the nature of the task. What do the slanderers say? They shall be my prosecutors. I will sum up their words in an affidavit. I should. be very sorry if Meletus could lay that to my charge. But the simple truth. O Athenians, that I have nothing to do with these studies.

Prodicus of Ceos, and Hippias of Elis, who go the round of the cities. The Lord not only begins to describe Yama’s kingdom, but also begins to describe the procedure to be followed immediately after death. I am glad I found your blog. This list is exactly what I have been looking for. Now that I have a computer and no longer work it’s great knowing I can go on the internet and find out the order in which books were written. There is. actually a Parian philosopher residing in Athens, of whom I have heard. I came to hear of him in this way: - I met a man who has spent a world. Sophists, Callias the son of Hipponicus, and knowing that. I asked him: ? Is. You must have. thought about this as you have sons; is there anyone? Had I the same, I should have been very proud. I have no knowledge of the. And although some of you may think I am joking. I declare that I will tell you the entire truth. Men of Athens, this reputation. I possess. If you ask. I reply, such wisdom as is attainable by man, for. I am inclined to believe that I am wise; whereas the persons. I was speaking have a superhuman wisdom, which I may fail to describe. I have it not myself; and he who says that I have, speaks falsely. And here, O men of Athens, I must beg. I seem to say something extravagant. For. the word which I will speak is not mine. I will refer you to a witness. I. have any, and of what sort - and that witness shall be the god of Delphi. Well, Chaerephon, as you know, was very impetuous in all his. Delphi and boldly asked the oracle to tell him whether. I was saying, I must beg you not to interrupt - he asked the oracle. I was, and the Pythian. Chaerephon is dead himself. Because I am going to explain to you why. I have such an evil name. When I heard the answer, I said to myself, What. What can he mean when he says. I am the wisest of men? And yet he is a god and cannot lie; that would. After a long consideration, I at last thought of. I reflected that if I could only find. I might go to the god with a refutation in. I should say to him, . So I left him, saying to myself, as I went away: Well, although I do. I am better off than he is - for he knows nothing, and thinks that he knows. In this latter particular, then. I seem to have slightly the advantage of him. Then I went to another, who. I made another enemy of him, and of many others besides. And I swear to you, Athenians, by the dog I. I will tell you. the tale of my wanderings and of the . When. I left the politicians, I went to the poets; tragic, dithyrambic, and all. And there, I said to myself, you will be detected; now you will. Accordingly, I took. I am almost ashamed to speak of this, but still I. That showed me in an. And the poets appeared. I further observed that upon the. So I departed, conceiving. I was superior to. But I. observed that even the good artisans fell into the same error as the poets. I asked myself on behalf of the oracle, whether I would like to be as I. I made answer to myself and the oracle that I was better off. I go my way, obedient to the god, and make inquisition into the wisdom. I show him that he is. I have no time to give. I am in utter poverty by reason of my devotion to the. And this, O men of Athens, is the truth and. I have concealed nothing, I have dissembled nothing. And. yet I know that this plainness of speech makes them hate me, and what is. I am speaking the truth? And now I will try to defend myself. Something of this sort: - That Socrates is a doer of evil. That is the sort of charge. He says that I am a doer. I say, O men of Athens, that Meletus. You think. a great deal about the improvement of youth? Speak, then, and tell the judges who their. Observe, Meletus, that you are silent, and have nothing to. But is not this rather disgraceful, and a very considerable proof. I was saying, that you have no interest in the matter? Speak up. friend, and tell us who their improver is. I want to know who the. There are plenty of improvers. And what do you say of the audience, - do they improve. Is that what you. But suppose I ask you a. Would you say that this also holds true in the case of horses? Is not the exact opposite. One man is able to do them good, or at least not many; - . Is not that true, Meletus, of horses. Whether you and Anytus say yes or. Happy indeed would be the condition of youth if. Answer, friend, I say. Do not the good do. Answer, my good friend; the law requires you. Now is that a truth which your superior wisdom. I, at my age, in such darkness. I have to live is. I am very likely to be harmed by him, and yet I corrupt. But either I do not. I corrupt them unintentionally, so that on either view. If my offence is unintentional, the law has no cognizance. I had been better advised, I should have left. I only did unintentionally - no doubt I should; whereas. But still I should like to know. Meletus, in what I am affirmed to corrupt the young. I suppose you mean. I infer from your indictment, that I teach them not to acknowledge the. These are the lessons which corrupt the youth. Or, do. you mean to say that I am an atheist simply, and a teacher of. And these are the doctrines. Socrates, when there are not unfrequently. Socrates if he. pretends to father such eccentricities. And so, Meletus, you really think. I do not believe in any god? For I cannot. help thinking, O men of Athens, that Meletus is reckless and impudent. Has he not compounded a riddle, thinking to try me? For he certainly does appear to me to contradict himself. Socrates is guilty of not. And I. must remind you that you are not to interrupt me if I speak in my accustomed. I wish, men of Athens, that he would answer. Did ever any man believe. There is no man who ever did. But now please to answer. Can a man believe in spiritual and divine agencies. Yes, that is true, for I may assume that. Now what are spirits or demigods? For if the demigods are the illegitimate sons of gods, whether. Nymphs or by any other mothers, as is thought, that, as all men. You might. as well affirm the existence of mules, and deny that of horses and asses. You have put this into the indictment because you had nothing real. But no one who has a particle of understanding will. To him I may fairly. There you are mistaken: a man who is good for anything ought not. Whereas, according to your view, the heroes who fell at. Troy were not good for much, and the son of Thetis above all, who altogether. Hector, that if he avenged his companion. Patroclus, and slew Hector, he would die himself - . For wherever a man's place is, whether the place which he has chosen. And this, O men of Athens, is a true saying. For this fear of death is indeed the pretence of wisdom. Is there not here conceit. And this is the. point in which, as I think, I am superior to men in general, and in which. I might perhaps fancy myself wiser than other men, - that whereas I know. I do not suppose that I know: but I do know. God or man, is evil. I will never fear or avoid a possible good rather. And therefore if you let me go now, and reject the. Anytus, who said that if I were not put to death I ought not. I escape now, your sons will all be. Socrates, this. time we will not mind Anytus, and will let you off, but upon one condition. I should reply: Men of Athens, I honor and love. I shall obey God rather than you, and while I have life and strength. I shall never cease from the practice and teaching of philosophy, exhorting. I meet after my manner, and convincing him, saying: O my friend. Athens. care so much about laying up the greatest amount of money and honor and. Are you not ashamed. And if the person with whom I am arguing says: Yes, but I do care. I do not depart or let him go at once; I interrogate and examine and cross- examine. I think that he has no virtue, but only says that he has, I. And. this I should say to everyone whom I meet, young and old, citizen and alien. For this. is the command of God, as I would have you know; and I believe that to. God. For I do nothing but go about persuading you all, old and young. I tell. you that virtue is not given by money, but that from virtue come money. This is my teaching. But if anyone says that this is not my teaching, he is speaking. Wherefore, O men of Athens, I say to you, do as Anytus bids. Anytus bids, and either acquit me or not; but whatever you do. I shall never alter my ways, not even if I have to die many. And I think that what I am going. I have something more to say, at which you. I beg that you will not do this. I would. have you know that, if you kill such a one as I am, you will injure yourselves. Meletus and Anytus will not injure me: they. I do not deny that he may, perhaps, kill him, or. I do not agree with him; for the evil of doing as Anytus is doing - of. And now, Athenians. I am not going to argue for my own sake, as you may think, but for yours.
