The answer is, look at wikipedia for all of your questions about ancient greece. Do your parents know that you're asking these questions, and not doing the research yourself (which would barely be research- one google search).

If I was being given the opportunity to kill people I would enjoy killing I would consider that choice. But generally I would take the second. I have to laugh my *** off at all the video game boys who think they would want to go down in glorious combat. There's nothing glorious about having your intestines lanced, a limb chopped off or your throat hacked in two, all of which are the sort of slow and painful ways you would die fighting in ancient Rome.

Socrates, he was a man who lived by the principles he taught to others and if you doubt read his dialogues called Meno, Symposuim and read in between the lines you will see why. Like an outspoken person in a oppresive government, he put the Athenian politician on thier toes.

Socrates chose to drink Hemlock and picked suicide over being put to death publicly. Aristotle, on the other hand, left the country when he was confronted with the same ordeal.

Socrates didn't try to overthrow anything. He was inconvenient to the government. He knew it. They knew it. He proved his innocence of the charges, but accepted their verdict.
As Socrates himself put it if he didn't believe in his government even when it was wrong, he could have left. Because he believed in it, he chose not to leave and accepted the sentence they gave him.

Socrates was forced to drink hemlock, but not for those reasons. Maybe that is who you want????

Studying Ancient Greece are we? Fascinating topic, but wouldn't you want to put your homework questions in the homework section? This forum is set up for you to categorize your questions by the topic you are asking, not by who you are or what you do. Way too confusing that way, and no one else looking for info on ancient Greece will know to look in the homeschooling section. They would look in homework help section.

Your question was cut off at the end. Socrates drank hemlock.
