At the end of the Phaedo, the executioner gives Socrates the cup, and Socrates asks whether he can pour a libation. He wants to know whether he can pour out some poison for the gods.

The executioner tells him that he may not; there is only enough for Socrates. Socrates may not poison the gods; he may only poison himself.
