I believe you mean Socrates teacher of Plato. Socrates' way of teaching was to keep asking questions on and on and so you continuously tear of layers of belief until you can't anymore and that is the truth. But the Greek senate wasn't so happy with being asked annoying questions and being outsmarted kinda like modern day politicians so they gave him a choice. He could publicly say he was sorry and stop being annoying or he could choose to take a cup of poison and hence death. He choose the cup of poison because lying was the biggest evil in his philosophy. So he'd rather die than say he was sorry.
I believe you are talking about a Greek philosopher by the name of Socrates. He took death by drinking a poison. His last moments were recorded by a Greek historian, one of his students.
Friedrich Nietzsche said that art is the imitation truth.

The function of a philosopher is to seek for "the truth". His/her search never ends for when he/she finds the answer to his/her question he/she will realize that there are still questions that need to be answered and his/her search is unending. A philosopher is the one who guides the people to "the truth". By : the person who seeks for everything but has found "nothing"
The Greek goddess of truth is Alethia. It is also spelled Aletheia and a couple other ways.

Socrates believed in the idea of absolute truth and used questioning techniques, known as the Socratic method, to encourage critical thinking and self-discovery in his students. This approach involved asking probing questions to help individuals examine their beliefs and values to arrive at deeper, more reasoned conclusions.
