With these words he departed, blithe in glance, in mien, in gait, as comported well indeed with the words he had just uttered. When he noticed that those who accompanied him were in tears,
What is this?
Hermogenes reports him as asking.
Are you just now beginning to weep? Have you not known all along that from the moment of my birth nature had condemned me to death? Verily, if I am being destroyed before my time while blessings are still pouring in upon me, clearly that should bring grief to me and to my well-wishers; but if I am ending my life when only troubles are in view, my own opinion is that you ought all to feel cheered, in the assurance that my state is happy.

A man named Apollodorus, who was there with him, a very ardent disciple of Socrates, but otherwise simple, exclaimed,
But, Socrates, what I find it hardest to bear is that I see you being put to death unjustly!
The other, stroking Apollodorus’ head, is said to have replied,
My beloved Apollodorus, was it your preference to see me put to death justly?
and smiled as he asked the question.
