The rulers of ancient Athens sentenced Socrates to death primarily for corrupting the youth and impiety, as he was accused of introducing new deities and questioning traditional beliefs. His method of questioning and challenging societal norms made him unpopular among powerful political figures. Ultimately, his philosophical teachings were seen as a threat to the established order, leading to his trial and subsequent execution in 399 BCE.
