Answer

The Apology of Socrates, written by Xenophon, is a work that provides an account of Socrates' trial and defense. It is one of several works that describe Socrates' trial, including Plato's Apology and the Apology of Socrates by Libanius. Xenophon's Apology presents a different perspective on Socrates' trial than Plato's, focusing more on the historical and legal aspects of the trial rather than on Socrates' philosophical arguments.
