You really can't help but laugh the time he approaches the second man and realizes the same thing as he did the first. Basically socrates was the most intelligent troll ever throwing shade at all the other self proclaimed intellectuals, while claiming to know nothing.

If this is indeed what Socrates said, I cannot believe that the jury convicted him. Then again, how he explains how if he had gone on with lamentations, etc. it may have ended differently. Comes to show the simple mindedness of the populace, even thousands of years ago

"For the fear of death is indeed the pretence of wisdom, and not real wisdom, being a pretence of knowing the unknown; and no one knows whether death, which men in their fear apprehend to be the greatest evil, may not be the greatest good." ~Socrates Plato's Apology "He wishes them to know that the divine sign never interrupted him in the course of his defence; the reason of which, as he conjectures, is that the death to which he is going is a good and not an evil. For either death is a long sleep, the best of sleeps, or a journey to another world in which the souls of the dead are gathered together, and in which there may be a hope of seeing the heroes of old - in which, too, there are just judges; and as all are immortal, there can be no fear of any one suffering death for his opinions. Nothing evil can happen to the good man either in life or death, and his own death has been permitted by the gods, because it was better for him to depart; and therefore he forgives his judges because they have done him no harm, although they never meant to do him any good. He has a last request to make to them - that they will trouble his sons as he has troubled them, if they appear to prefer riches to virtue, or to think themselves something when they are nothing." ~Socrates Plato's Apology "Wherefore, O judges, be of good cheer about death, and know of a certainty, that no evil can happen to a good man, either in life or after death. He and his are not neglected by the gods; nor has my own approaching end happened by mere chance. But I see clearly that the time had arrived when it was better for me to die and be released from trouble; wherefore the oracle gave no sign. For which reason, also, I am not angry with my condemners, or with my accusers; they have done me no harm, although they did not mean to do me any good; and for this I may gently blame them. Still I have a favour to ask of them. When my sons are grown up, I would ask you, O my friends, to punish them; and I would have you trouble them, as I have troubled you, if they seem to care about riches, or anything, more than about virtue; or if they pretend to be something when they are really nothing, - then reprove them, as I have reproved you, for not caring about that for which they ought to care, and thinking that they are something when they are really nothing. And if you do this, both I and my sons will have received justice at your hands. The hour of departure has arrived, and we go our ways - I to die, and you to live. Which is better God only knows" ~Socrates Plato's Apology Birth, Life and Death is the same. We project the aesthetic differences onto them like we do with Harmony and Chaos. Birth and Death is a metamorphosis and changing of forms. Nature recycling!

bruh, by "God" he means Apollo, not the Lord our creator. Socrates believed not in the true God, but refers to his favorite member of the Greek pantheon as God, for he thought of Apollo as his patron god. As much as it would be cool for socrates to believe in God, sadly that is not the case.

Phaedo Wodehouse Apollo

“For one will scarcely die for a righteous person-though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die-but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” -Romans 5:7-8

He thinks he knows something whereas when I do not know, and not think I know I'm wiser as o do not think I know what I do not know Knowledge, Examine it's means High reputation were most efficient, where more inferior are more knowledgeable Poets don't compose poems with knowledge but with some inborn talent, & inspiration Craftsmen they knew things I did not know, so they were wiser than I Each because of their success with their craft thought they are wiser Does any man believe in spiritual activity he who does not believe in spirits If I were to claim I am wiser than anyone in anything it would be in this, that I have no adequate knowledge of things in the underworld, so I do not think I have I do however It is wicked and shame to do wrong, to disobey one superior be God or man. I shall never fear, or avoid things which I do not know, whether they may not be good, rather things I know to be bad Ego said to you I should not have been brought, for that I am here, you cannot avoid executing. I do not practice philosophy if you're caught doing so, you will die

can someone please give me some context

As briefly as I can put it, Socrates wasn't well liked by the upper class Greek socialites and ended up put to death for his teachings and philosophies. Plato, his number one fan, wrote this in attempt to help the man defend himself after his death.
