Symposium and The Death of Socrates

Symposium gives an unsurpassed picture of the sparkling society that was Athens at the height of her empire. A group of aristocrats at a party talk about love and Socrates. Euthyphro discusses the nature of piety, Apology, is Socrates’ speech in his own defence. Crito explains his refusal to escape punishment and Phaedo gives an account of Socrates’ last day.
