Today in class, we discussed Socrates and his punishments for corrupting Athens youth as well as impiety, which is not believing in the gods of the state. We discussed that when he went on trial, he didn't apologize for his actions, but he said his actions were necessary for the well being of Athens and that he  should be rewarded for his actions. The jury ultimately voted guilty and he got put to death by poison hemlock, which slowly makes the muscular and respiratory system dysfunctional and kills you in about an hour. Though, he could of avoided this, for his friends could have easily gotten him out, to live outside of Athens, and live out the rest of his life without wronging the Athens community, though, he declined the offer, for he wanted to prove his loyalty to Athenian Democracy. Finally, in class we had a vote of our own, and we ultimately voted not guilty, for his obedience to Athenian democracy is exceptional, he has a brilliant mind, and can help improve ideas, law, and beliefs within the Athenian state.
