DUE THR 5/17 The Apology pp. 51-61

Sentence highlighted: p.52 section 27a: 'Socrates is guilty of not believing in the gods, but believing in the gods.' And this is pure flippancy.

I chose this sentence for a hopefully obvious reason. That reason is that this sentence makes no sense at all. Meletus says that Socrates is guilty and not guilty of believing in the gods. Either this sentence was written wrong or I am confused on what Meletus is trying to say. I will ask for clarification on Thursday.
