•Plato’s dialog
concerning piety and wisdom
•Euthyphro, a man known
for claiming to be a religious expert
•They attempt to
pinpoint a definition for piety
•Since I gave the
argument during Crito’s symposia, I just give the context
here
•Argument is the
definition of piety
•Point is Socrates makes
Euthyphro look like a fool
•Bigger point is the
charge of impiety is one Socrates must defend in the Apology
