The aim of the present paper is to discuss Socrates’ idea of philosophy asa service to the god. First the article investigates why Chaerephon wentto Delphi and why he asked Pythia the famous question concerningSocrates. The investigation provides a basis for distinguishing two majorperiods in his activity. The one preceding the Delphic oracle consists inconducting inquiries in a group of closest friends. The one following theDelphic oracle consist in addressing a much larger audience. An analysisof both periods suggests that the oracle from Delphi greatly affectedSocrates’ relations with other Athenians. While the present article dealsalso with the issue of Socrates’ daimonion, it hypothesizes that the voiceof daimonion and the voice of Pythia could be regarded as Apollo’sinterventions.

The article is an attempt to answer the question what Socrates’ daimonion is, and withal, what its function, meaning and origins are. The main part of this article is focused on diverse interpretations of philosophers such as Guthrie, Swieżawski, Nowicki etc. In this context there are presented two general attitudes towards the problem: personal and abstract. Additionally, concerning the abstract interpretation, it is proposed reading daimonion as a sort of ultimate intuition.
