    In The Apology, Socrates attempts to defend himself and his conduct certainly not to apologize

    it. Derived from the Greek word “apologia,” which translates as a speech made in defense or as
    a defense only. This is an account of the speech Socrates makes at a trial in which he is
    charged inventing new deities, not recognizing the Gods recognized by state, and the Youth of
    Athens corruption.

    Phaedo claims to survey the events and conversations that happened on the day Socrates
    which is Plato’s teacher was put to death by the state of Athens. This is the most widely read
    dialogues written by Plato.

    The Crito covers the topic justice, injustice and the proper response to both. This composition
    originated in 360 B.C.E that portray a conversation between Socrates and Crito in a prison cell
    in Athens.

    The Meno started with Meno asking Socrates whether virtue can be taught, and this question
    covers the two men for the entire text. One of Plato’s earliest dialogues with the conversation
    dateable to about 402 BCE.

    The Sypmosium is the first major philosophical text on love in Western literature. In the party of
    ancient Greek, it is a series of speeches on Love being given. Using both genres it can be
    codify as a tragicomedy.

    The Republic is the most famous and extensively read dialogue. This is widely accepted that
    this dialogue belongs to the dialogues of Plato’s middle period. In here, we come up against
    Socrates developing a position on justice and its relation to happiness.

    Gorgias both maintains independent significance and relates nearly to Plato’s underlying
    philosophical project of defining noble and proper human existence. It is also a detailed study of
    virtue founded upon an inquiry into the nature of temperance, art power, rhetoric, justice, and
    good versus evil.

    Phaderus is a dialogue which the two men cross paths as Phaedrus returns from hearing a
    speech by Lysias on the subject love.

    Philebus beguns to alter bacuse it appears to be one of the later writings of Plato and the
    dramatic and poetical element has become subordinate to the speculative and philosophical.
    Theaetetus is Plato’s one of the middle to later dialogues. Features Plato’s most sustained
    discussion on the concept of knowledge, it fails to yield an adequate definition of knowledge,
    thus ending inconclusively.

     Protagoras dialogue begins when Socrates starts to question Protagoras about what he
    teaches his students. This is also a strangely disjointed text.

    The Sophist were itinerant teachers and intellectuals who frequented Athens and other Greek
    cities in the second half of the fifth century B.C.E.

    Timaeus has nevertheless had the greatest influence over the ancient and medieval world. It is
    the most repulsive and obscure to the modern readers
