They would, he says, be sure to give testimony in exactly the opposite sense to that expected of them, and would accord him their unanimous and enthusiastic support. This support is so strongly insisted on, and its probative force discussed at such length, that we cannot but conjecture that something more than a hypothetical incident is referred to. In other words, l'lato has made use of this artifice, for stylistic or personal reasons, in order to avoid mentioning such evidence for the defence... as actually was given in the course of the trial. But it is necessary to consider Socrates' speeches a little more closely and examine into their correspondence with fact. There is not the slightest ground for doubting that Plato reproduces the genuine and original tone of Socrates' speeches. And the same may be said of the spirit in which the defence was conducted. Deviation from the historical truth in either of these respects could not be justified on the score of artistic freedom ; it would have been an offence against art and duty alike.
