Make a list of some of the Athenian values that you encountered in the text. Choose one a write a couple of sentences (or more) about why it might be good for the trial of Socrates.
~Tradition
~Morals(Right or Wrong thing to do)
~Truth(This kind of applys to the second one listed above but I thought this one was important enough to get its own category)
I'm choosing to write about Tradition-
I think using the Athenian value of Tradition for the trial of Socrates would best be used for either side of the argument. If you used Tradition, many people would feel obligated to concur with your side in the trial. They also use a couple examples of it in the text and for example, the one Mr. Jana pointed out to us in class today related to Tradition and how it was its own category mixed in with the two categories, Apply to Ethics, and Apply to Emotion. I completely agree and think it should be further used as a main Athenian value to be brought up in the final upcoming trial of Socrates.
