Verify the inaccurate statement about Socrates. In Socrates, Condemned to Death, Addresses His Judges, also known as Apologia (The Apology), Socrates apologizes to his accusers for his reckless behavior. Socrates alludes to Aristophanes—a famous Greek playwright who wrote a play that featured a character named Socrates. 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. In this allusion, Socrates labels Aristophanes a slanderer and suggests he’s a liar.
