Fasting for 30 days
In speech II, Socrates does not mention the alternative sentence "silence" as one of the options for his punishment, as it was not seen as a serious or acceptable alternative in his dialogue with the jury.
Socrates does not talk about the alternative sentence "I am merely another reptile".
The Apology of Socrates was written by Plato, a student of Socrates. It is a record of Socrates' defense speech at his trial in Athens where he was accused of corrupting the youth and impiety.
Socrates refutes Thrasymachus' definition of justice by arguing that true justice is not just the advantage of the stronger, as Thrasymachus claims, but rather a virtue that benefits all members of society. Socrates believes that justice is about doing what is right and fair, even if it may not always benefit the powerful.
Socrates did not invoke free speech at his trial because the concept as we know it today did not exist in ancient Athens. Instead, he focused on defending his beliefs and principles, refusing to compromise even in the face of death. He believed in the importance of philosophical inquiry and the pursuit of truth, regardless of the consequences.

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.

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 :)
Socrates and the Sophists were both ancient Greek philosophers who focused on ethics and the art of rhetoric. However, they differed in their approach - while the Sophists believed that truth was relative and could be manipulated through persuasive speech, Socrates sought objective truth through dialogue and critical thinking.
