In Plato's "Apology," Socrates talks about the excellence of a speaker and the major impact it has. He talks about how his prosecutor talks with such eloquent words that it made him almost believe the lies that the speaker was saying about Socrates. He talks about how he does not have the same speaking skills and instead will talk in the manner in which he is accustom to. Wisdom is a big point in the story and is a huge claim.

After the death sentence he is more concerned for how little he got accused by and rejoices in this. Socrates was not a sophist for many reasons. Sophists taught for money in which socrates did not care for the money, this was apparent in his financial status when he was on trial and before that.

Socrates did not categorize himself like the sophists did, he was an independent person. Finally Socrates did not go through the same schooling as a sophist would in order to teach their views and knowledge. When the Delphic Oracle states that "no man can be wiser than Socrates  he is does not mean that no man can have more knowled
