Socrates (greek Σωκράτης) did not write any books. He believed that the "revolution" of the written speech (at that time writting was considered a revolution, remember that Homer Iliad and Odyssey were preserved via oral tradition and only at 800 BC were they written down) was something bad and he urged young ones refrain from it, because he thought that written speech was much less personal and much more superficial than the oral speech. That is why he went everyday to the ancient Market (Αγορά - Agora) to talk to young people. What we know about Socrates we know from what other philosophers have written about him and his sayings (mainly Plato).

The Apology is an interpretation of the philosopher Socrates' speech by fellow philosopher Plato. At the end of the speech, Socrates dies.
A reward of free accommodation and food for life for his distinguished service to the state rather than the death penalty. In the Athenian court system, prosecution and defence proposed sentences - the jury had to accept one or the other, they could not decide on any intermediate penalty.
The defense speech of Socrates on trial.

He is sentenced to death. Please spell-check before copying and pasting (: Apex isn't always right (: It was the law of the land that the person who was awarded death sentence was given a second chance to give some proof of his innocence, or submit a mercy appeal. Thus Socrates was given second hearing.
I believe it was a feller by the name of Socrates II, but don't quote me on that :)
