The book you are holding in your hands is a dramatization of one of Plato's most widely read Socratic dialogues. After the "Apology of Socrates", published in this same collection, we thought it necessary to adapt this work since it is its continuation. In this dialogue, and after Socrates' trial and condemnation to death narrated in the "Apology of Socrates", his friend Crito maintains the hope of the old philosopher's salvation and makes him a proposal. This work becomes an educational resource to work in the classroom in a multidisciplinary way: we will work on oratory, memorization, emphasis and dramatization of reading, philosophy, ancient history, theatrical performance, handicrafts, group work, structuring tasks and functions,... This book is designed to be read and played.

The book you are holding in your hands is a theatricalisation of one of the best-known myths of Ancient Greek culture. Taken from the work "The Metamorphoses" by the Roman author Ovid, this myth is a tale of passion, unrequited love, rejection, pride and revenge and it is believed that this story was aimed at the Greek adolescents of the time with a moralizing objective. Even today, despite the time that has passed since Ovid wrote this story, lessons can still be learned from it. This myth is also a good example of how the Greeks used mythological stories to explain nature and its phenomena. In this case, the myth offers the explanation of the origin of the acoustic phenomenon called echo and the origin of a plant with a beautiful flower that bends elegantly to the ground, the narcissus. This adaptation of the myth becomes at the same time an educational resource to work on in class in a multidisciplinary way.
