Dialogues of Plato

This was very hard to understand for me but the sidenotes did help a lot. Socrates is on trial for putting ideas into people's heads, it seems like the people who have him on trial are just jealous of his smarts. I got out of it that he was accusing the people who were accusing him of being arrogant about how smart they were but as time went on i believe that Socrates is the cocky one. He talks about how he searched everywhere but could not find a group of people that were smarter than him, but he made enemies with all of them because they were jealous of his smarts. Its all very confusing to me. In the end he is convicted and sentenced to death which he doesn't seem the slightest bit worried about, he says he doesn't blame them for putting him to death.
