The great philosopher of Socrates chose to abandon life and death, what is the reason?

Glady was a famous ancient Greek philosopher, and he and his student Plato and Plathurous's student Aristotle were called the "Three Sages of Greece". In 399 BC, Socrates was sentenced to death by the Athenian government for disrespecting God. Spirits, the introduction of new gods and the poisoning of youth. Socrates then committed suicide by taking poison at the age of 71. Socrates was the first great philosopher in history to be sentenced to death. But after Socrates was sentenced to death, the date of execution was postponed by a full month, and for Socrates, this was undoubtedly lucky, because he had enough time to flee. His close friend Kerry Tong repeatedly advised him to leave, but Socrates was not moved, and resolutely accepted the trial of him by the law and faced death calmly.

Creton and Socrates were born in the same year, are people of the same district and the same race, they are old friends for many years, Creton's son is a disciple of Socrates, and Kerry himself sometimes goes to the square to listen to Socrates. When Socrates was in prison, Creton repeatedly urged Socrates to flee, and made a careful escape plan for him, but Socrates did not accept Cretin's escape plan.

Dawn breaks, and Socrates, who is in prison, has just woken up to see his friend Kerry sitting next to him, and he does not know why Kerry has come to visit him in prison so early. Kryton also brought a message that was a hard blow for Socrates' friends or disciples.

What is the news? This is great news about socrates' fate: the ship that went to the sacrificial island of Delos was coming back on the same day.

Every year, the Athenians filled their ships with tributes to Apollo, the sun god on the island of Delos. After Socrates was sentenced to death, it was the Day of Delia in Athens, which was celebrated by Athens sending a delegation to the island of Delos by boat to offer sacrifices to the god Apollo, where the god Apollo was said to have been born. This custom originated from the legend of the Oath of Theseus: once upon a time, the ship carrying Vouseus and the young boys and girls was shipwrecked on the way to the island of Kura, so he swore that if someone rescued them from Delos, they would offer sacrifices to the god Apollo every year. Later, they were indeed saved, and this custom was inherited, and until the time when Socrates lived, the Athenians still carefully commemorated this event, so that the death penalty was not allowed from the time the ship left the port until it returned home.
