Oedipus the King (often known by the Latin title Oedipus Rex) is an Athenian tragedy by Sophocles that was first performed c. 429 BC. It was the second of Sophocles's three Theban plays to be produced, but it comes first in the internal chronology, followed by Oedipus at Colonus and then Antigone. Over the centuries, it has come to be regarded by many as the Greek tragedy par excellence. (Summary by Wikipedia)

Apology By Plato ♦ (Greek & Latin Antiquity) ♦ Full Audiobook

Apology By Plato ♦ (Greek & Latin Antiquity) ♦  Full Audiobook



Title:  Apology



Author:  PLATO (ΠΛΆΤΩΝ) (c. 428 BCE - c. 347 BCE)



Translated by:  Benjamin JOWETT (1817 - 1893)



Genre(s):  Classics (Greek & Latin Antiquity), Philosophy



Language:  English



Read By:  Phil Chenevert



The Apology is Plato's version of the speech given by Socrates as he defended himself in 399 BC against the charges of "corrupting the young, and by not believing in the gods in whom the city believes, but in other daimonia that are novel" . "Apology" here has its earlier meaning of speaking in defense of a cause or of one's beliefs or actions. The general term apology, in context to literature, defends a world from attack (opposite of satire-which attacks the world).the text is written in the first person from Socrates' point of view, as though it were Socrates' actual speech at the trial. During the course of the speech, Socrates twice mentions Plato as being present. There is, however, no real way of knowing how closely Socrates' words in the Apology match those of Socrates at the actual trial, even if it was Plato's intention to be accurate in this respect - Summary by Wikipedia
