Order out of Chaos 28

Phaedo sat beside Socrates on that fateful day of his execution.It was evening when the poison hemlock was administered to him. Crito was there, as well, to take final instructions and to close his eyes at the end. Both men were perplexed that Socrates preferred to face death rather than escape. But Socrates is armed with the belief that the soul lives on after death. The dramatic end of this great philosopher is probably one of the reasons why his story lives on.
