					<description><![CDATA[Well, you are overstating. 
He was commanded to do it because :
 &quot;the Thirty summoned me to the Hall, along with four others, and ordered us to bring Leon from Salamis, that he might be executed. They gave many other orders to many people, in order to implicate as many as possible in their [i.e., the Thirty&#039;s] guilt.&quot;
He did not cooperate in what he understood it was a veiled, implicit, request that he - a well known moral figure, authority, in the city- approves their act. 
Open defiance would have given them a simple, clear-cut, reason to execute him right then and there for blank disobedience but here at stake was something else. That is, the Thirty were doing a wrongful act, they well knew that, and they were hesitant and uneasy enough about doing it that  they felt the need to look for the approval and support of at least some respected citizens.
Socrates wasn&#039;t suicidal but neither was he willing to do wrong rather than have wrong done to him.]]></description>
