Greek philosopher Socrates was condemned to die this way:
A tribunal of 501 citizens found Socrates guilty of the charge of impiety and corruption of youth. Socrates (469-399 B.C.) had been the teacher of two leaders who were held responsible for the Greek?s loss to Sparta in the Peloponnesian War (431-404 B.C.). Plato?s Apology, Crito, and Phaedo describe Socrates? trial, imprisonment and death.
