Abstract

Plato’s Apology of Socrates is a masterpiece of the philosophical literature. The question remains as to how much it has been influenced by earlier works, for example those of Gorgias of Leontinoi and Euripides. Nevertheless, comparative studies on Hippolytus’ defence in Euripides’ tragedy of the same name, on Gorgias’ Defence of Palamedes and on Plato’s Apology do not exist. This short paper introduces the status quaestionis.
