From APOLOGY
—if you would say to me with regard to this, “Socrates, for
now we will not obey Anytus; we will let you go, but on this
condition: that you no longer spend time in this investigation or
philosophize; and if you are caught still doing this, you will die —
if you would let me go, then, as I said, on these conditions, I would
say to you, “I, men of Athens, salute you and love you, but I will
obey the god rather than you;
......and if you obey Anytus and slap me, you would easily kill me. Then you would spend the rest of your lives asleep, unless the god sends you someone else in his concern for you.
