Socrates was charged, tried, and convicted of crimes of impiety (introducing a different God than the God ancient Greece believed and worshiped) and corrupting the youth.

Before Socrates' trial and execution in 399 BC too much was going on in Athens that most historians believe led to Athenians handing Socrates the death penalty. 


In this episode professor, Ron Cline goes into the background and events that led to the philosopher’s death by poison.
