The philosopher Plato who was also a student of the philosopher Socrates wrote out the latter's speech from the criminal trial that determined his death. It is now known as the Apology. In it, Socrates said of the men who condemned him, "And I prophesy to you who are my murderers that immediately after my death punishment far heavier than you have inflicted on me will surely await you."

Two of his accusers were killed by the angry mob immediately after socrates was buried. Their houses were burnt. The third accuser fled from Athens and died a dog's death in banishment.
