    Socrates. Why have you come at this hour, Crito ? it must be quite early. Crito. Yes, certainly. Soc. What is the exact time ? Cr. The dawn is breaking. Soc. I wonder the keeper of the prison would let you in. Cr. He knows me because I often come, Socrates ; moreover, I have…

    Euth. I have told you already, Socrates, that to learn all these things accurately will be very tiresome. Let me simply say that piety or holiness is learning, how to please the gods in word and deed, by prayers and sacrifices. Such piety, is the salvation of families and states, just as the impious, which…

    Euth. I really do not know, Socrates, how to express what I mean. For somehow or other our arguments, on whatever ground we rest them, seem to turn round and walk away from us. Soc. Your words, Euthyphro, are like the handiwork of my ancestor Daedalus ; and if I were the sayer or propounder…

    Euth. I will tell you, if you like. Soc. I should very much like. Euth. Piety, then, is that which is dear to the gods, and impiety is that which is not dear to them. Soc. Very good, Euthyphro ; you have now given me the sort of answer which I wanted. But whether what…

    Soc. Rare friend ! I think that I cannot do better than be your disciple. Then before the trial with Meletus comes on I shall challenge him, and say that I have always had a great interest in religious questions, and now, as he charges me with rash imaginations and innovations in religion, I have…

    Euthyphro. Why have you left the Lyceum, Socrates ? and what are you doing in the Porch of the King Archon ? Surely you cannot be concerned in a suit before the King, like myself ? Socrates. Not in a suit, Euthyphro ; impeachment is the word which the Athenians use. Euth. What ! I…

    (The jury condemns Socrates to death.) {Socrates’ Comments on his Sentence} Not much time will be gained, O Athenians, in return for the evil name which you will get from the detractors of the city, who will say that you killed Socrates, a wise man ; for they will call me wise even although I…

    (The jury finds Socrates guilty.) {Socrates’ Proposal for his Sentence} There are many reasons why I am not grieved, O men of Athens, at the vote of condemnation. I expected it, and am only surprised that the votes are so nearly equal ; for I had thought that the majority against me would have been…

    But I shall be asked, Why do people delight in continually conversing with you ? I have told you already, Athenians, the whole truth about this : they like to hear the cross-examination of the pretenders to wisdom ; there is amusement in this. And this is a duty which the God has imposed upon…

    Someone will say : And are you not ashamed, Socrates, of a course of life which is likely to bring you to an untimely end ? To him I may fairly answer : There you are mistaken : a man who is good for anything ought not to calculate the chance of living or dying…

    LAWS – BOOK VI In the first part of the sixth book, Plato completes his sketch of the constitution by the appointment of officers. He explains the manner in which guardians of the law, generals, priests, wardens of town and country, ministers of education, and other magistrates are to be appointed; and also in what…

    LAWS – BOOK V The fifth book commences in a sort of dithyramb with another and higher preamble about the honour due to the soul, whence are deduced the duties of a man to his parents and his friends, to the suppliant and stranger. He should be true and just, free from envy and excess…

    LAWS – BOOK IV At the beginning of the fourth book, after enquiring into the circumstances and situation of the colony, the Athenian proceeds to make further reflections. Chance, and God, and the skill of the legislator, all co-operate in the formation of states. And the most favourable condition for the foundation of a new…

    LAWS – BOOK III After having laid down as the first principle of politics, that peace, and not war, is the true aim of the legislator, and briefly discussed music and festive intercourse, at the commencement of the third book Plato makes a digression, in which he speaks of the origin of society. He describes,…

    LAWS – BOOK II At the beginning of the second book the subject of pleasure leads to education, which in the early years of life is wholly a discipline imparted by the means of pleasure and pain. The discipline of pleasure is implanted chiefly by the practice of the song and the dance. Of these…

    PHILEBUS Persons of the Dialogue : SOCRATES ; PROTARCHUS ; PHILEBUS. The plan is complicated, or rather, perhaps, the want of plan renders the progress of the dialogue difficult to follow. A few leading ideas seem to emerge: the relation of the one and many, the four original elements, the kinds of pleasure, the kinds…

    CRITIAS Persons of the Dialogue : CRITIAS ; HERMOCRATES ; TIMAEUS ; SOCRATES. The Critias is a fragment which breaks off in the middle of a sentence. It was designed to be the second part of a trilogy, which, like the other great Platonic trilogy of the Sophist, Statesman, Philosopher, was never completed. Timaeus had…

    TIMAEUS Persons of the Dialogue : SOCRATES ; CRITIAS ; TIMAEUS ; HERMOCRATES. Of all the writings of Plato the Timaeus is the most obscure and repulsive to the modern reader, and has nevertheless had the greatest influence over the ancient and mediaeval world. The obscurity arises in the infancy of physical science, out of…

    STATESMAN Persons of the Dialogue : THEODORUS ; SOCRATES ; The ELEATIC STRANGER ; The younger SOCRATES. The Statesman has lost the grace and beauty of the earlier dialogues. The mind of the writer seems to be so overpowered in the effort of thought as to impair his style; at least his gift of expression…
