Apologia of Socrates - (According to Plato) | Audiobook (my narration & notes)
Apology from apologia, means a defence of something. It is the opposite of an "apology" which is an acknowledgement of an offense or failure. Plato is making a defence of Socrates, not apologizing for him.
This is my narration of Plato's account of Socrates' defence against the accusations of atheism and corrupting the youth, with notes.
Socrates' Accusers:
Anytus, a rich and socially prominent Athenian who opposed the Sophists on principle. Socrates says that Anytus joined the prosecution because he was "vexed on behalf of the craftsmen and politicians"
Meletus, the only accuser to speak during Socrates's speech of self-defence; he was the tool of Anytus, the true enemy of Socrates. Socrates says that Meletus joined the prosecution because he was "vexed on behalf of the poets"
Lycon, who represented the professional rhetoricians as an interest group. Socrates says that Lycon joined the prosecution because he was "vexed on behalf of the rhetoricians"
