How are Greece and rome similar?

Greeks and Romans were different nations and spoke completely different languages.

Although these two civilizations look alike (in religion, education, dressing and so on), there are also many differences in the way of thinking. The Romans considered granduise and impressive as something ideal, while Greeks appreciated something simple and essential. This can be observed for example in architecture and literature. It was easy for the Romans to accept their emperors as Gods, but in Greece, Alexander the Great was the single monarch who tried to impose this idea and he was found dead soon after that. The greek ideals are based on the concept of a man's freedom and this is why they lacked a central government and they were divided in smaller city-states and kingdoms. On the other hand, the roman empire was united and the Romans were seen as subjects and servants of Rome.

Why did Socrates drink hemlock willingly?

Socrates was planned to be rescued by his students from prison but Socrates did not give his consent. He had passed the peak of his career, sown the seeds in fertile soil and done his work.

Even if rescued from prison by his very able students and followers he would not live many more years. He calculated that becoming a martyr for his ideals would be highly promotional and profitable for the immediate spreading of his ideals. That was why that cunning old man drank hemlock willingly. However after drinking the abominable potion, he conducted his last class on this world in that prison. It was about how poison affects each organ in the human body.
