The Last Days of Socrates (Euthyphro, The Apology, Crito, Phaedo)

The writings of Plato serve as a crucial source for understanding Socrates, who left no texts of his own. This collection includes key dialogues such as "Euthyphro," where Socrates discusses the nature of piety, and "Apology," which presents his defense during trial. "Crito" explores themes of justice and moral integrity, as Socrates declines an escape plan, while "Phaedo" poignantly depicts his final moments. Together, these works illuminate Socrates' philosophical beliefs and the principles he upheld until his death.
