5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book, 1 Jun 2005

By	alchemilla18 "alchemilla18" (Scotland) - See all my reviews

One of the gems of ancient Greek literature "The Trial and Death of Socrates" tells (as the title suggests) of the persecution and execution of Socrates through four dialogues written down by his friend Plato. Plato attempted throughout this work to use only Socrates voice and arguments and not colour them with his own views. Socrates comes across at first as a intensely irritating character especially in his thoughts on piety. However his defence of himself at his trail is brilliant and well worth reading. Socrates defence of justice and majority rule even when he is sure that it will lead to his demise is breathtaking and his attacks upon his accusers, whom he confuses and makes fools of regularly, is most entertaining.
