The Memorabilia

The work features a series of dialogues that reflect on Socrates’ life and philosophy, crafted by his former student, Xenophon. Rather than serving as a direct defense against the charges leading to Socrates' trial, it offers a broader exploration of his ideas and character. Xenophon argues for Socrates’ innocence regarding the accusations of impiety and corrupting the youth, providing insight into the philosopher's teachings and their impact on Athenian society.
