Gandolfi Gaetano. The Death of Socrates (1782,
Crito, when he heard this, made a sign to the servant, and the servant went in,
and remained for some time, and then returned with the jailer carrying a cup of
poison. Socrates said: “You, my good friend, who are experienced in these
matters, shall give me directions how I am to proceed.” The man answered: “You
have only to walk about until your legs are heavy, and then to lie down, and
the poison will act.” At the same time he handed the cup to Socrates, who in
the easiest and gentlest manner, without the least fear or change of colour or
feature, looking at the man with all his eyes, Echecrates,
as his manner was, took the cup and said: “What do you say about making a
libation out of this cup to any god? May I, or not?” The man answered: “We only
prepare, Socrates, just so much as we deem enough.” “I understand,” he said:
“yet I may and must pray to the gods to prosper my journey from this to that
other world – may this, then, which is my prayer, be granted to me”. Then
holding the cup to his lips, quite readily and cheerfully he drank off the
poison (Plato, Phaedo).
