Apology of Socrates Part 1

In which Socrates, challenged by longstanding rumours and recent accusations alike, offers a candid and unadorned defence, seeking to dispel falsehoods about his character and his reputed wisdom. He recounts his peculiar mission from the Delphic oracle, engaging interlocutors of various sorts to reveal the nature of true wisdom, while addressing charges of corrupting youth and impiety with measured scrutiny and reasoned argument.
