The text does not say this. Rather see 63b where Socrates says: "I should be wrong not to resent dying if I did not believe that I should go first to other wise and good gods, and then to men who have died and are better than men are here." and 63c: "I have good hope that some future awaits men after death, as we have been told for years, a much better future for the good than for the wicked."
