Plato is a beautiful craftsman, but I cannot stand Socrates. Poor Crito. He should've just left rather than listening to the nonsense. I'd have voted him to death too. Suicide by Athenian Assembly.-Very well, Crito; if such is the will of God, I am willing. This how Socrates started the dialogue.- and he ended it as follows. Leave me then, Crito, to fulfil the will of God, and to follow whither he leads.Enough said.
Yes, this was all in Ancient Greek, and much better than the English translations.
thinking.................... plato............. 🤔
I didn't expect to like this that much because it's concerned with what justice is and whether it's okay to do something illegal if it's for good reasons (broadly, bastardized). I still care more for prose style than Plato's philosophy - but I learned a lot about Greek particles as function words, various rejoinders one might see in a dialogue for different turns of the conversation, and grammar points I'd forgotten. I love Plato's style of piling on examples and putting hypotheticals in
While this is actually a philosophical meditation, the surrounding narrative framework was what drew me to this short work. It's the story of Socrates' last conversation with a friend, Crito, in prison prior to being forced to drink hemlock as punishment for annoying the authorities with his wisdom. It's actually pretty heart-breaking as well as intellectually stimulating.
