Verify the inaccurate statement about Socrates.

A.In Socrates, Condemned to Death, Addresses His Judges, also known as Apologia (The Apology), Socrates refuses to abandon his course of questioning and challenging answers.

B.Socrates alludes to Aristophanes—a famous Greek playwright who wrote a play that featured a character named Socrates.

C.In The Apology, Socrates often utilizes the device of allusion in developing his central idea of whether he is indeed the wisest man, as claimed by the Delphic Oracle.

D.In this allusion, Socrates labels Aristophanes a slanderer and suggests he’s a liar.

Respuesta :

Option D reveals inaccurate information about Socrates, as he does not call Aristophanes a liar, but Meletus.

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • "The Apology" refers to Socrates' speech, given when he was accused of trying to derail the youth with his ideas.
  • Socrates used this speech to defend himself and challenge the accusations made against him.
  • In that speech, he spoke about Aristophanes to allude to a play that had a character named Socrates.
  • He also spoke of a prophecy that he should challenge wiser men for being wiser than them.

Socrates complains to his accusers, mainly Meletus, whom he accuses of being a liar, which can be seen in the lines:

"You are a liar, Meletus, not believed even by yourself. For I cannot help thinking, O men of Athens, that Meletus is reckless and impudent, and that he has written this indictment in a spirit of mere wantonness and youthful bravado. Has he not compounded a riddle, thinking to try me?"
