Socrates died in a cell by drinking poison because in his time many people believed that the Socrates method was a bad influence so he was sentenced to death

Socrates was seen as an enemy to the state because he was said to be influencing the young people in the wrong ways (they believed that he denied the existence of the gods). He was charged, and the agreement was that he would not poison himself, as punishment, unless he admitted that he had committed the crime. He did agree, and he drank the hemlock.
