Socrates was an enigmatic figure; he made no writings, and is known chiefly through the accounts of his students Plato and Xenophon. After Socrates was accused of impiety against the pantheon of Athens and corruption of the youth and sentenced to death, his students stood up in his defense. In the unique form of Socratic dialogue both, Plato and Xenophon, defended the character and teachings of their teacher. _x000D_ The Life of Socrates _x000D_ Defenses of Socrates _x000D_ Defense by Plato_x000D_ Apology _x000D_ Crito _x000D_ Phaedo _x000D_ Defense by Xenophon_x000D_ Memorabilia_x000D_ Apology
