Socrates and me in Greece
(I'm the one on the foreground)

Funny story. Apparently, Socrates got himself into a little trouble with the Laws, and, while discussing the matter, he asked, rhetorically, if he was permitted to escape: Θα μπορούσα να έχω δραπετεύσει. Well, the acoustics of the cave being what they are, his interlocutors heard, Θα μπορούσα να έχω το δηλητήριο : Poison, please.

As you can see, it's an easy confusion, and really could have happened to anyone. I'm sure they'll all laugh about it someday. Well, except Socrates.
