A month has passed since Socrates was sentenced to death for impiety and corrupting the young, and still be waits chained in his cell in prison. For his trial took place just as the sacred ship, bearing the yearly thank offering of Athens to the ancient shrine of Apollo on the island of Delos, was being prepare for her sailing. The offering commemorates a famous event in the city's legendary history, its delivery by the hero Theseus with the god's aid from the savage tyranny of the king of Crete, who required an annual tribute of the best Athenian youth to satisfy his man-devouring Minotaur. The period from the time when the priest at Athens crowns the ship before its departure until it returns to harbor is a 'holy season', during which the city must not be polluted by the taking of human life. So Socrates, like any other convicted criminal, must wait to die until the vessel is back at anchor.

But now the weeks of respite are nearly over. The ship has been sighed off Sunium, the southernmost promontory of Attica, less than thirty-five miles by sea from the Peiraeus, the port of Athens. In another day it should arrive. His wealthy friend, Crito, offers to finance his escape. But Socrates, sitting in his prison cell, argues although the judgements of his fellow Athenian may be wrong, escape is not an appropriate action, even though it would save his life.
