After reading Herrick on Socrates’ life, Aristophanes’ Clouds and Plato’s Euthyphro and Apology, write a 2 page (roughly 400-600 words) reaction paper (NOT a formal essay) to these readings that answers the following questions:
- What are the differences in the way that Plato and Aristophanes represent Socrates? Give examples to justify your claims. (You can cite just the page number; no need to have a bibliography).
- In Plato’s Apology, Socrates says that he has two sets of accusers/charges (last paragraph of page 5 of the PDF/ page 8 of the text): an earlier group of accusers and a more recent group. What are the different charges each group is bringing against Socrates?
- Does Socrates successfully rebut these charges in your opinion? Make sure to justify your claims.
- In Plato’s Euthyphro and Apology, what does Socrates truly value? Again, make sure to support your claims.
- What do you think of Socrates after completing and thinking about these readings?
