Websites I can't think of. But Plato "recorded" the moments before his death and the trial in "The Socratic Apology," and in the other book mentioned, "Phaedo."

Was'nt he to Plato, what Zarathustra was to Nietche. That was my impression anyway.

In a way, yes. Most of what we know about Socrates can be debated, because it is Plato's writings that we learn from. Still, if Plato was lying then this could just be an entry about a fictional character in Greek literature.

Platos' imaginatoin Could have taken care of that. Aristophanes' clouds, Strepsiadse he was not.
