Hume claims that humans are like animals:
He proves, using Meletos one of the Socrates' accusers as a defense witness that Socrates is not an atheist, and then refutes all the current charges against him through open questioning of his accusers. He is then found guilty, and Plato dramatizes the situation in the true Greek literary tradition, making the most of the historical account of Socrates' bravery in committing suicide rather than compromise his beliefs.
