Rosalinda Saavedra English 1301-11327 Dear Dr. Sexton‚ I want to apologize for how irresponsible I have shown myself to be.

These concerns are addressed again in The Apology. First it is critical to recall that Plato‚ in the voice of Socrates‚ regards himself as the “physician of the State” and the “only Athenian living who practices the true art of politics” (Gorgias 521).

In the play Oresteia‚ Athena warns the Athenians to be weary of internal threats. During the Apology‚ Socrates is called and can be viewed as an internal threat‚ jeopardizing the safety of other Athenians and drawing on their fear to start an uprising against the government. Socrates also shows the virtue of arrogance in Plato’s piece‚ choosing his
