The Memorabilia

Composed many years after Socrates' death, these dialogues were assembled by one of the great philosopher's former students and recapture many examples of his conversations with his disciplines and fellow Athenians.

Although the dialogues of Plato, the better-known student, established Socrates at the foundations of Western thought and philosophy, Xenophon's writings about his teacher added substantially to the ancient Greek sage's literary and philosophical legacy.
