Plato's Apology
Plato, was a Greek philosopher who was born in 427 BCE and died in 347 BCE. The Apology presents Socrates's defense of himself while being tried for being a man "who corrupted the young, did not believe in the god, and created new deities." The Apology also presents Socrates's proposal for his punishment after he is found guilty and his reaction to the death sentence finally handed down.
The Apology is the second of four works by Plato detailing Socrates's trial and execution; Euthyphro precedes The Apology and Crito and Trial of Socrates
