Socrates was forced to drink hemlock, because he had offended the sensibilities of the ruling class, I think. Edit: Here is the charge laid against Socrates:
""Socates is guilty of crime; first, for not worshipping the gods whom the city worships, and for introducing new divinities of his own; next for corrupting the youth. The penalty due is death."
I don't recall either of them stealing, or dying in a barn-like structure.
Why don't you read the Wikipedia entries on them. Are you really so lazy you can't do your own research? You have time to post this on here, but no time or know-how to use a search engine?
Do you even know what a search engine is?
Prometheus stole fire, but was not punished in a barn or anything of the sort. Do you use cannabis? If so, stop. You need the precious few thousand cells your brain has left.

okay. maybe you should take a philosophy class since you dont know what you are asking! first of all it is a short-medium length passage in which someone is on trial for some wrongdoing: accused of of corrupting the kids or teaching them what was not appropriate. second, in the passage there is a friend of the person accused who is trying to make his friend-the accused-escape from jail via bribery and such except that the accused turns it down and is trialed and found guilty. this story is written by Plato about Socrates-the accused:since it actually happened in real life that Socrates was accused and trialed on the very same charges and put to death since that was the penalty if i remember it correctly. it is written about Socrates since Plato was dear friends with Socrates like a farewell thing!
and the passage has name:APOLOGY!

Socrates was executed in Plato's: Apology
Plato wrote the story though.
