Although Crito has many valid and argumentative reasons for Socrates to escape‚ he is steadfast in his beliefs and dies a martyr. Crito has three main arguments for Socrates to escape his imprisonment. Crito’s first argument is that if Socrates does not escape from prison he would loose a dear friend. There is also the fact that Crito’s reputation would be hurt for not helping his friend escape from jail.

In Plato’s Apology‚ Socrates states that‚ “The unexamined life is not worth living” (38a). I am using the knowledge learned through hours of class discussion of Socrates from the Euthyphro‚ Apology‚ and Crito to explain what Socrates means by “the examined life‚” and why he thinks that it is the only life worth living‚ and why he thinks that it can be lived only with others‚ in Athens.
