Plato’s Apology is not an apology in the modern sense, … here is what one description of the book has to say, that might help explain the title:
The Apology of Socrates is Plato’s version of the speech given by Socrates as he unsuccessfully defended himself in 399BCE against the charges of “corrupting the young, and by not believing in the gods in whom the city believes, but in other daimonia that are novel” (24b). “Apology” here has its earlier meaning (now usually expressed by the word “apologia”) of speaking in defense of a cause or of one’s beliefs or actions.

Over Two Thousand years ago he put forward ideas that many of us are still wanting to learn, and trying to learn from, suggested pearls of wisdom that contain to retain their value, and meaning, the passage of time not diminishing them in the least.
