Death of Socky

Socrates trial was held in the Athen's market.  He was super stubborn and when he was on his trial, he didn't apologize for his "crimes", instead he told them that they should be thanking him.  Actually, buying him dinners for the rest of his life.  He was the only one in Athens who callenged their way of life.  When he had a short amount of time to speak, he basically said that Athens was a big stupid lazy horse and he was a horsefly trying to get them moving.  If he apologized he would have been aquitted because everyone really liked him.  When he was in jail the gaurds didn't want him to die either, so Socrates' friends asked them to just turn away.  They did.  When they told him, "Let's leave!", he said that he was going to stay here and take the punnishment.  He had  multiple chances to leave, but he denied both.  He drank the hemlock and died.  In the end of class we talked about gay people.
