| description |
While the article discusses the factors that motivated Socrates’ decision
in the Crito, it emphasizes the possible cultural import of the choice
undertaken in the aftermath of the political upheavals in the late fifth
century. It is also argued here that as Plato’s dialogue were written in
the period that followed the renewal of the Athenian politeia, it should
be perceived as having its roots both in the historical reality of its narrative
focus (i.e. Socrates’ trial) and in the then reality of Plato’s Athens
(i.e., its political stability dependent on the ephebic oath).
