relying on logic.
An argument is a reason or set of reasons given in support of an idea, action, or theory. It helps to persuade others of the validity of a particular viewpoint or claim. Arguments should be based on sound reasoning and evidence.
Socrates is using an Ethos argument. His words are directed more to the audience and whoever overhears, than to Meletus. In his comments, "Nobody will believe you, Meletus, and I am pretty sure that you do not believe yourself. I cannot help thinking, men of Athens, that Meletus is reckless ..." Socrates attacks Meletus' veracity, his truthfulness, and whether anyone should trust him. To switch to a modern scene, this would be like yelling at a friend during an argument, "Everyone knows you are a cheat! You cheat on homework; you cheat on tests; for all we know, you recklessly cheat in everything you do!" The point has less to do with truth as with undermining the other person's power by undermining it in the hearer's mind.

List the two sides. List legitimate arguments for each side. Evaluate and explain each argument. Pick the side with the better argument, even if you do not agree with it. Then all you have to do is try to convince the audience to believe whatever argument you are making. Do not sound like you are forcing your beliefs on someone else so much, just try to bring your point across. Try using ethos, pathos, and logos, as well. Try using wit, or appeal to your audience's emotions and try to connect with each member of your audience.
No. Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle were Greco-Roman pagans.
