Abstract (english)
Socrates’ words at the very end of Plato’s Apology are well-known: ‘Now the hour to part has come. I go to die, you go to live. Which of us goes to the better lot is known to no one, except the god’ (42a2-5). These words are without any doubt meant to make a lasting impression, but at whom are they directed: at everyone present at the trial—that is at Socrates’ accusers, members of the jury, and the audience—or only at some of these groups? This question is seldom addressed. In the following note I argue that the closing words are directed at two specific groups of people: Socrates’ three accusers—Meletus, Anytus and Lyco—and the jurors who voted for his death penalty.
