Antigone (Sophocles play)
Antigone ( ; ) is a tragedy by Sophocles written in or before 441 BC.
Apology (Xenophon)
In the year 399, Xenophon was soldiering with the Greek mercenary army of the Ten Thousand (cf. "Anabasis"); hence he was not in Athens for the trial of Socrates. As an author, Xenophon’s primary source for the Socratic dialogue is the philosopher Hermogenes, who attended the trial. Nonetheless, in the literature of the trial of Socrates, Plato features Hermogenes in "Phaedo" (as a witness to the death of Socrates) but not in the "Apology of Socrates". In literary comparison, Xenophon’s interpretation of Socrates’s "megalēgoria" (boastful speaking-manner) as defence-at-trial is compared and contrasted with the interpretation of the legal defence presented the "Apology of Socrates", by Plato.
