"The Memorable Thoughts of Socrates" by Xenophon is a collection of Socratic dialogues written after 371 BC. This work presents Xenophon's defense of his teacher Socrates, who faced charges of impiety and corrupting youth in Athens. Through short episodes and conversations, Xenophon portrays Socrates offering practical wisdom to friends and fellow Athenians, demonstrating his piety, self-control, and beneficial influence. The work significantly shaped Cynic and Stoic philosophy in ancient times.
