The year was 399 B.C.E�� Socrates a man deemed to be filled with “wisdom and virtue�� was convicted and put to trial for corrupting the minds of the youth in surrounding Athens. Plato documents the conversations Socrates has before going to trial, his defence in trial and the days before he is put to death. Years later, the year is 2024 and a 27 year old girl named Jazmyn tries to put a little review together whilst feeling completely impudent in even trying to attempt to do such a task��

Socrates has never seemingly written anything himself, all we have is secondhand information from his followers and admirers, it’s hard to differentiate from Plato’s own philosophy and ideals compared to the truer events and depictions of Socrates last days.

I found this incredibly interesting, especially Apology, where I found Socrates to be put forth as quite a funny and to the point man, he is true to his beliefs and he stands strong despite the criticism. This edition was filled with great introductions and notes at the end that really enhanced my understanding of the text. I still can’t help but feel like I have only skimmed the surface of the meaning and deeper understanding of the full novel, I hope to revisit this in the future after I read a few more books by Plato, Aristotle etc as I think each time I come back I will find something else and gain a deeper understanding.
