Apology, Crito, and Phaedo of Socrates is a classic philosophy collection by the great Greek philosopher, Plato

The Apology of Socrates, written by Plato, is a Socratic dialogue of the speech of legal self-defence which Socrates (469-399 BC) spoke at his trial for impiety and corruption in 399 BC.

Crito is a dialogue that was written by the ancient Greek philosopher Plato. It depicts a conversation between Socrates and his wealthy friend Crito of Alopece regarding justice (??????????), injustice (??????), and the appropriate response to injustice after Socrates's imprisonment, which is chronicled in the Apology.

Phaedo is one of the best-known dialogues of Plato's middle period, along with the Republic and the Symposium. The philosophical subject of the dialogue is the immortality of the soul. It is set in the last hours prior to the death of Socrates, and is Plato's fourth and last dialogue to detail the philosopher's final days, following Euthyphro, Apology, and Crito.
