5/17-The Apology

"Do you imagine that you are prosecuting Anaxagoras, my dear Meletus? Have you so poor an opinion of these gentlemen, and do you assume then to be so illiterate as not to know that the writings of Anaxagorsas of Clazomenae are full of theories like these?"

I chose this quote because it show Meletus at a poor place in the agrument. Meletus is trying to prove Socrates a an Atheist, but confuses him with another philosopher Anazagroas. This makes Meletus look unprepared and not look like he knows what he's talking about. It also makes Socrates look better.
