Socrates was poisoned for his anti-democratic views of society. On a day in 399 BC the philosopher Socrates stood before a jury of 500 of his fellow Athenians accused of "refusing to recognize the gods recognized by the state" and of "corrupting the youth." The jurors later found him guilty by a vote of 280 vs 220. They also voted that his penalty should be death, by drinking a cup of poison hemlock. In the end, he was killed for his beliefs, while his peers wept along side him as they watched him die.

Socrates was sentenced to death by drinking poison (hemlock) because he was found guilty of corrupting the youth and impiety (disrespect for the gods of Athens). His teachings, questioning of traditional beliefs, and influence on the youth were perceived as a threat to the stability of Athenian society.
