A review by reaganwaggoner
Apology by Plato
4.0
I find it difficult to even rate it four stars rather than five with as much significance as this dialogue has, but I rate it four stars nonetheless. Don't ask me why, because honestly I don't know.
This dialogue is brilliant, although it's more of a monologue with one isolated cross-examination that is more of a humiliation. Anyway. A few of my favorite isolated quotations:
How you, O Athenians, have been affected by my accusers, I cannot tell; but I know that they almost made me forget who I was - so persuasively did they speak; and yet they have hardly uttered a word of truth. -The Apology
The hour of departure has arrived, and we go our ways - I to die, and you to live. Which is better God only knows. -The Apology
Oh, also, I can't help but think of what a wonder a modified excerpt of this text would have been in the old atonement channel of AP CSA :)
