plato crito

Socrates was born in Athens and lived 470BC-399.

Accused of impiety and corrupting the youth of Athens, he was sentenced to death. Choosing not to flee, he spent his final days in the company of his friends before drinking the executioner’s cup of poisonous hemlock.

In this dialogue, written by Plato, Crito visits his friend, Socrates. Crito tries to persuade Socrates to escape. Socrates refuses to break the law by escaping and suffers death for it. This is not a suicide.

This is a discourse by Plato on civil obedience and disobedience.

Socrates tutored Plato, and Plato tutored Aristotle.

Phthia is a reference is to Homer’s Iliad and Achilles’s home. Who is the lady?
