was already death alive and that he was too old to be running away .I believe that by Socrates complying with he sentence order by Athenians, he got his point across and he stood up for what he believe in and he never back down. Socrates made a wise decision by staying and fulfilling his sentence; personally I respect him for doing that and standing up for what he believe in. If Socrates would have escape in credibility would have been put in doubt by his follower and he would have to keep on running away for the rest of his life. He would have never got in his point across and no one would have trusted him again. Socrates die for the right cause, he didnt deserve to die but he did, he stood up for his believes and he never backs down....
