The Apology
The Apologyby PlatoI do not know, men of Athens, how myaccusers affected you; as for me, I was almostcarried away in spite of myself, so persuasivelydid they speak. And yet, hardly anything ofwhat they said is true. Of the many lies theytold, one in particular surprised me, namelythat you should be careful not to be deceivedby an accomplished speaker like me. That theywere not ashamed to be immediately provedwrong by the facts, when I show myself not tobe an accomplished speaker at all, that Ithought was most shameless on theirpart unless indeed they call an accomplishedspeaker the man who speaks the truth.
as Gorgias of Leontini does, and Prodicus of Ceos, and Hippias of Elis.1 Each of these men can go to any city and persuade the young, who can keep company with anyone of their own fellow-citizens they want without paying, to leave the company of these, to join with themselves, pay them a fee, and be g rateful to them besides.
