Crito is a Socratic dialogue by Plato in which Socrates, awaiting execution, is visited in prison by his old friend Crito. Crito urges him to escape, while Socrates weighs questions of justice, law, and a citizen's duty. It is a brief, concentrated work that invites reflection on conscience, obligation, and the ethics of obedience.
