Socrates, the ancient Greek philosopher, was sentenced to death for his teachings and beliefs, particularly for allegedly corrupting the youth of Athens and impiety. In 399 BC, he was found guilty by a jury and subsequently executed by consuming poison hemlock. His trial and death have become emblematic of the conflict between individual conscience and societal norms. Socrates' philosophical ideas, especially regarding ethics and the pursuit of knowledge, have had a lasting impact on Western thought.
