Resumo

El objeto de este trabajo es realizar un estudio iusfilosófico sobre la aparición de las Leyes (nómoi) personificadas de Atenas en el Critón de Platón. La prosopopeya de las Leyes resulta ser un aspecto central para poder comprender la obra, ya que éstas entablan un diálogo imaginario con Sócrates en el cual instalan diversos argumentos filosóficos para fundamentar la autoridad de la pólis. A los fines de identificar el valor argumentativo de este recurso en la obra, analizaré el significado del nómos en la Atenas del siglo V a. C. y la naturaleza de las Leyes en el contexto general del diálogo. Se busca demostrar la importancia que tienen aquéllas para explicar la decisión de Sócrates de beber la cicuta.

The purpose of this paper is to make a study of the personification of the Laws (nomoi) of Athens in Platoʼs Crito from the philosophy of law. The prosopopoeia of the Laws is a central aspect to understand the play, as they start an imaginary dialogue with Socrates in which various philosophical arguments are exposed to base the authority of the polis. In order to identify the argumentative value of this resource in the play, firstly I will analyze the meaning of nomos in the Athens of the 5th century BC, and secondly the nature of the Laws in the general context of the dialogue. It aims to show the importance of the Laws to explain Socratesʼ decision to drink the hemlock.
