Because he believed that it would prove him to be innocent
Socrates Ballis died on September 13, 1998, in Orlando, Florida, USA.
Socrates believes that death is either a dreamless sleep, a journey to another realm where the souls of the dead reside, or a state of complete unconsciousness, all of which he considers peaceful and preferable to the trials and tribulations of life. He also argues that fearing the unknown of death would be illogical, as it is something that is inevitable and beyond our control.
At his trial in 399 BC, Socrates stated that he was not afraid of death because he did not know what it truly meant. He also argued that the pursuit of wisdom and the improvement of one's soul should be the highest priorities in life. Socrates famously stated that "the unexamined life is not worth living."
Socrates is more afraid of Aristophanes' comedic portrayal in The Clouds because it distorts his true character and teachings, potentially misleading people about who he really is. In contrast, his accusers—Anytus, Meletus, and Lycon—accuse him based on his philosophical ideas, which Socrates is more prepared to defend since they are rooted in his genuine beliefs and principles. Aristophanes' satire threatens to undermine Socrates' reputation and legacy by presenting a false image of him to the public.
Socrates surprised Crito by deciding to accept the death penalty rather than escaping from prison. Crito thought Socrates should escape because he believed it was unjust for Socrates to die, but Socrates upheld his principles and chose to abide by the law.
