T his edition of the Apology of Socrates and the Crito is based upon Dr. Christian Cron’s eighth edition, Leipzig, 1882. The Notes and Introduction here given have in the main been con­ fined within the limits intelligently drawn by Dr. Cron, whose commentaries upon various dialogues of Plato have done and still do so much in Germany to make the study of our author more profitable as well as pleasanter. No scruple has been felt, how­ ever, in making changes. I trust there are few if any of these which Dr. Cron might not himself make if he were preparing his work for an English-thinking and English-speaking public.

Furthermore, cocks fulfilled a number of symbolic and ritual functions, for instance as sacrificial an- imals or as love tokens from the adult male (erastes) to the younger male (eromenos). Not least, cockfighting was a very popular sport. However, the “Persian bird’s" actual con- quest, which enabled it to become the most common bird in the world with a current population estimated at around 23 billion by the FAO, paradoxically did not begin until it found a place on the dinner menu.

  • The Homicide Courts of Ancient Athens

    The Homicide Courts of Ancient Athens

    THE HOMICIDE COURTS OF ANCIENT ATHENS. Early Athens, like other primitive communities, was ruled not by laws, but by customs. The custom in any matter was what everyone did under similar circumstances. As Plato says! "'They [primitive men] could hardly have wanted lawyers as yet; nothing of that sort was likely to have existed in those days, for they had no letters at this early stage; they lived according to custom and the laws of their fathers, as they are termed." I In other words, in the absence of formal laws, justice was synonymous with precedent. At first, crimes, which later were looked upon as offenses against the state, were merely private affairs. Thus murder was only a private offense against the victim and his surviving kinsmen. To have slain a man was a misfortune, for it entailed serious consequences. In the Home- ric civilization the kinsmen might or might not accept wergeld as compensation for the loss and the idea of accepting it was' regarded as a perfectly justifiable alternative to exacting blood, vengeance. By giving presents to the relatives of the murdered man, the offender not only could repair the loss inflicted upon' them by the death of their kinsman, but he could also appease their anger, as the pleasure of revenge would tend to alleviate their indignation' and loss and the humiliation of their enemy would help to heal their resentment. Furthermore, the accept-" ance of compensation was a matter of expediency; for it saved the injured party from the risks involved in carrying out the blood-feud, i.
