Two Apologies

I've two transcriptions for you all today: Plato's (US Letter, A4) and Xenophon's (US Letter, A4) accounts of Socrates' trial. As always, these are in the public domain.

I was familiar with Plato's account but not Xenophon's, and given Xenophon's generally cool critical reception, I was surprised to find that he painted a, to my mind, much more mature, wise, and sympathetic picture of Socrates than Plato himself did.
