Plato’s Crito, written in the fourth century B.C.E., remains a powerful examination of the human condition. As his execution draws near, Socrates meets his good friend Crito who implores him to escape Athens and live in exile. In his methodical, level-headed way, Socrates analyzes the pros and cons, his duty to country, to the gods, and to himself.
