Apology of Sokrates (Ἀπολογία Σωκράτους, Apología Sokrátous) by Xenophon (as related in an account by Hermogenes)

A second account of the defense of Sokrates is provided by Xenophon (Ξενοφῶν), who was absent at the time of the actual trial, but who relates an account of another philosopher and intimate friend of Sokrates, Hermogenes (Ἑρμογένης). Unlike Platon's account, Xenophon does not detail Sokrates's full defense, but provides remarks that supplement and sometimes appear to conflict with Platon's Apology and also speaks on some events in the aftermath.
