What is Socrates about?

Socrates defends himself at his trial in Athens in 399 BC. He denies the charges that he is a sophist or corrupts the youth. He explains that the Delphic oracle called him the wisest, which he took to mean that he was wise in knowing his own ignorance. He questions politicians and poets who claim wisdom but have unexamined beliefs. This made him unpopular but fulfilled his divine duty. He is not afraid of death and believes it is better than disobeying the gods. The jury convicts him despite his arguments.
