Socrates was sentenced to suicide.
Socrates did not write a suicide letter. He was technically executed by being forced to drink a cup of hemlock juice. Plato described the death. You can read about it onhttp://www.eyewitnesstohistory.com/socrates.htm
Socrates, if I'm not mistaken
Socrates did not commit suicide; he was sentenced to death by drinking poison as punishment for allegedly corrupting the youth and impiety. There are numerous books that discuss Socrates' trial and the reasons behind his death, such as "The Trial and Death of Socrates" by Plato. These works delve into the philosophical and political factors surrounding his execution.
There is no definitive answer to what color Socrates' eyes were as there are no surviving physical descriptions of him.
According to his pupil, Plato, and other Greek historians, Socrates committed suicide by drinking the poison hemlock. He had been convicted by an Athenian jury of corrupting the young and of spurning the Athenian gods. He was given the merciful option of suicide, rather than the normal execution by having his throat cut and thrown into a refuse pit.
Suicide
he wasn't ordered to, he just did--although he would have died at someone else's hand
Drank, I believe, hemlock. Committed suicide. The Greek government were out to assassinate him for his ideas Hope I helped :)

Socrates did not commit suicide. He was sentenced to death by drinking a cup of hemlock as punishment for corrupting the youth of Athens and impiety. Socrates accepted his sentence and chose to die by drinking the poison rather than attempting to escape or accept exile.
