Socrates was sentenced to death by drinking poison hemlock by the Athenian authorities in 399 BC. He was found guilty of corrupting the youth of Athens and impiety. Socrates accepted his sentence and calmly drank the poison, continuing to engage in philosophical discussion until the end.
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.
