Poco antes de este, ante él se presentaría Critón, su viejo amigo, quién trataría de convencerle para escapar de la muerte. Sin embargo, Sócrates, dando fe de sus ideales, rechazaría sus insinuaciones para huir de la justicia ateniense, y antes de partir a cumplir el veredicto de la asamblea, le daría una lección respecto a la justicia y los compromisos, y como estos son la base de la convivencia entre hombres de honor.
