Document Summary
Crito is plato"s retelling of the dialogue between socrates and his friend crito. In this dialogue, crito is trying to convince socrates to escape into exile before his impending execution; even as time is running out for socrates, he defends his decision to stay. Crito arrives early to visit socrates, and is allowed in by the guard because he says he has become friendly with him due to his frequent visits and because he had given him something as a bribe. Crito has come to tell socrates that his time is limited due to the arrival of the ship from delos; i believe crito is more concerned about his reputation than. Socrates"s life, because although he says he will be upset that he loses a dear friend, he says that he will also be looked down upon for not using his money and power to save socrates. Its as if he wants socrates to escape to exile to save himself.
