Why did socrates die?

Socrates was a philosopher who died because of his differing opinions from those in political power. Socrates questioned wisdom, truth, and the fact of the Greek gods. He felt that wisdom had not been obtained by anyone around him, more specifically himself. In that, he publicly chastised those around him. He angered the powers that be and his view was one of absolute truth, that being, he felt that he was right and would die to defend his thoughts and beliefs, he was one of the first known martyrs.One of his many famous quotes, "The only true knowledge comes from knowing that you know nothing". He clashed with the people of Athens as his views were considered radical and he was known for "swaying" the young men of Athens to question the truth, question if they know what is really real. He chose to die even though he was unjustly convicted. He felt that it was his time to die and that it was wiser to die when he chose rather than to die in old age.....this is of course only a synopsis of the life of Socrates... for more information...look up the Socratic Method which will give you more information about decision making. Then Socrates died in 366 BCE. Useful info thanks :)


Was Socrates' death consistent of the ideas of a Golden Age. How do you know. please I need help?

The Golden Age referred to the prosperity and cultural advancement of the community. Socrates was executed because he was teaching some students to think for themselves, rather than blindly following religious and political customs. These inhibitions did not affect the advancement of culture and prosperity of a Golden Age, but rather challenged how the state operated politically and religiously.
