A.D. Woozley's book, Law and Obedience, discusses the problem of reputation [*] in this philosophical work. It opens during the annual voyage of the state vessel to Delos in commemoration of the city's deliverance from the Minotaur and mentions Simmias and Cebes as persons willing to help bribe potential informers. Yet, all of the arguments, including those that appeal to friendship, or to his responsibilities as a parent, are refuted by the protagonist who notes that to remain in a state, after having been reared under its laws, is, in effect, to agree to abide by its laws. FTP identify this work which stresses that the important thing is not to live, but to live honorably, a Platonic dialogue that sees Socrates refuse the title character's help in escaping his execution.
