The Apology is a work by the Ancient Greek philosopher Plato about the trial of Socrates for corrupting Athenian youths and being an atheist. After a disclaimer that he will not employ rhetoric and wishes his jurors to judge by truth and not by prejudice and gossip, Socrates argues that he neither intended to corrupt anyone and that he does, indeed, believe in gods. However, the jury is unconvinced and finds him guilty by a narrow margin of votes. After varying proposals of punishment, Socrates is sentenced to death.
