Arguments of Euthyphro

What does piety and impiety mean to the gods -Allison Neptune

Arguments of euthyphro are based on conversation of socrates and euthyphro about whether basing morality and virtue shoukd be on what is right in the eyes of the greek gods. - Derek Milioni

Euthyphro was going to prosecute his father for murdering a servant and Socrates was talking to him about it. Is it right in god's eyes is it right in societies eye? Piety is what is dear to the God impiety is what is not. - Kiana Daniel

Are things are only pious/impious because the Gods say so? And if a God changes their mind on considering if something is pious then does it imediatly become impious? - Kevin Anderson

Socrates was trying to change Euthyphro's perception of what pious and impious was. Euthyphro said that pious was prosecuting a crime and impious was not prosecuting it. Ultimately, Socrates came to the conclusion that pious was what the gods view as dear and holy. - Tyler Huband

One if Euthyphro's arguments was that piety was the way that humans could please the gods, by doing what they were doing, and it didnt have to be completley logical because the gods were the ones in control. - Sean Martin
