The Memorable Thoughts of Socrates
I have often wondered by what show of argument the accusers of Socrates could persuade the Athenians he had forfeited his life to the State. For though the crimes laid unto his charge were indeed great-"That he did not acknowledge the gods of the Republic; that he introduced new ones"-and farther "had debauched the youth;" yet none of these could in the least be proved against him.'
