Plato's Crito

Written by Plato

Narrated by Ray Childs

The Athenian court has found Socrates guilty and sentenced him to death. While he is waiting to be executed, his friend, Crito, comes to the prison to persuade him to escape and go into exile. Socrates responds by examining the essence of law and community, probing the various kinds of law and making distinctions that go far beyond the particular issue of whether or not Socrates should escape.

During the Classical period of Ancient Greece he was based in Athens where he founded his Academy and created the Platonist school of thought.
