Socrates, but Seneca also drunk hemlock in an attempt to kill himself. This was because originally when he was sentenced to death, his arteries were cut, but since Seneca was quite old, his blood flowed too slowly for him to die, so he asked to be given hemlock. Unfortunately, this still didn't kill him, and eventually he died through being suffocated with steam.
