Plato's 'Apology', 'Crito', and 'Phaedo' are three dialogues about the final days of Socrates. The first depicts his trial and defense, the second a discussion of justice and duty, and the third on the immortality of the soul. They are worth listening to for their profound ethical questions and vivid portrayal of Socrates' character.
