INTRODUCTION TO CRITO (by Benjamin Jowett)

  THE "Crito" seems intended to exhibit the character
of Socrates in one light only, not as the philosopher,
fulfilling a divine mission and trusting in the will
of Heaven, but simply as the good citizen, who having been
unjustly condemned is willing to give up his life in obedience
to the laws of the State.

  The days of Socrates are drawing to a close; the fatal
ship [1] has been seen off Sunium, as he is informed by his aged
friend and contemporary Crito, who visits him before the
dawn has broke . . .
