Socrates and his time in jail

Socrates would meet people in the agora to question their beliefs in order to make sure that they learned about what they believed. People from all over the world would share their messages about astronomy, medicine, meteorology, literature, philosophy and all things scientific.  Everyone would learn something new from each of the people meeting at the Agora. This helped with advances in education.  This was also around the time when traditional teachings of the Greek gods were very big and got young people thinking. Eventually the Greek government got upset that Socrates had started this new way of education. The government was mad because they believed that Socrates was teaching kids more logically explanations instead of Greek gods. They charged Socrates with corruption of Athens young and impiety. Socrates stood infant of a jury of 500 people and admitted what he did and had no signs of regret when doing it. They found him guilty and sentenced him to death. Socrates had the choice of escaping but instead took the punishment and drank the hemlock that slowly killed him.
