APOLOGY - Why did Socrates not choose to save himself instead of making a jest to the judges?

"...that you may not sin against the God by condemning me, who am his gift to you."

CRITO - was the poison really that painless?

PHAEDO - Complicated reasoning with confusion on Equality and the Harmony of the Soul
is mostly resolved with
Socrates "Here lies the point..." proof of the Immortality of the Soul.

I read both THE SYMPOSIUM and THE REPUBLIC in college and so that will stand.
