Crito was a citizen of Athens. He was most affectionate in his disposition towards Socrates, and took such care of him that none of his wants were left unsupplied. Further, his sons Critobulus, Hermogenes, Epigenes and Ctesippus were pupils of Socrates. Crito too wrote seventeen dialogues which are extant in a single volume under the titles: That men are not made good by instruction. Concerning superfluity. What is expedient, or The Statesman. Of Beauty. On Doing Ill. On Tidiness. On Law. Of that which is Divine. On Arts. Of Society. Of Wisdom. Protagoras, or The Statesman. On Letters. Of Poetry. Of Learning. On Knowing, or On Science. What is Knowledge.
