Document Summary
All take care to look after themselves, good things will inevitably follow. Socrates would like to be buried, to which socrates replies that crito may do as he pleases. He has just gone to great lengths to explain that when he dies, his soul will leave his body and will live on eternally. The body that will be left behind will not be socrates, because. Thus, crito should not be upset to see socrates" body buried or burned, since that body will no longer be socrates. Socrates then goes into the next room with crito in order to bathe. There he is met by his three sons and the women of his household. He says his last goodbyes to them, gives them some inal instructions, and then sends them away and returns to join his companions. The sun is setting as the prison oicer enters to tell socrates that he must take the poison.
