501 Euthyf|            question which I meant to raise when I asked whether the
502 Euthyf|            the question which he has raised; but true to his own character,
503 Euthyf|           intelligence of Euthyphro, raises the question in another
504 Euthyf|            for without it?~SOCRATES: Rare friend! I think that I cannot
505 Euthyf|              rudely proposed, at any rate were not to be appealed
506 Euthyf|       clearly not: else why, when we reached the point, did you turn
507 Euthyf|          knows that such a charge is readily received by the world, as
508 Euthyf|   authorities in religion; and he is ready to defend his conduct by
509 Euthyf|         foundation. He is seeking to realize the harmony of religion
510 Euthyf|             the Euthydemus, and will reappear in the Republic and Statesman.
511 Euthyf|            the inimitable irony, are reasons for believing that the Euthyphro
512 Euthyf|              mythology are denounced recalls Republic II. The virtue
513 Euthyf|             such a charge is readily received by the world, as I myself
514 Euthyf|           the Protagoras, but is not reckoned among the four cardinal
515 Euthyf|               whose familiar sign he recognizes with interest. Though unable
516 Euthyf|              to be pious. Do you not recollect that there was one idea
517 Euthyf|        standard to which they can be referred.~The next definition, ‘Piety
518 Euthyf|           gods,’ is shipwrecked on a refined distinction between the
519 Euthyf|              the gods. But you still refuse to explain to me the nature
520 Euthyf|        working his way into a deeper region of thought and feeling.
521 Euthyf|           punishing a murderer. Yes, rejoins Socrates, when they know
522 Euthyf|             murdered was one of your relatives—clearly he was; for if he
523 Euthyf|              himself.~Euthyphro is a religionist, and is elsewhere spoken
524 Euthyf|     arguments walk away and will not remain fixed where they are placed
525 Euthyf|           and evasions of Euthyphro, remains unshaken in his conviction
526 Euthyf|         SOCRATES: Then, my friend, I remark with surprise that you have
527 Euthyf|           brought against him (it is remarked by the way that he is not
528 Euthyf|             of the argument Socrates remarks that the controversial nature
529 Euthyf|              I cannot do better than repeat this challenge in the court.~
530 Euthyf|           once more the assertion is repeated that piety is dear to the
531 Euthyf|         piety’? When asked, you only replied, Doing as you do, charging
532 Euthyf|            have had no difficulty in replying, a number which represents
533 Euthyf|          spirit in which the popular representations of mythology are denounced
534 Euthyf|             replying, a number which represents a figure having two equal
535 Euthyf|              you mean that we prefer requests and give gifts to them?~
536 Euthyf|         instance, horses are said to require attention, and not every
537 Euthyf|            dare say not, for you are reserved in your behaviour, and seldom
538 Euthyf|        difficult questions cannot be resolved in a short time; and he
539 Euthyf|             about heavy and light by resorting to a weighing machine?~EUTHYPHRO:
540 Euthyf|            still less from arguments respecting the suitableness of this
541 Euthyf|           and the act, corresponding respectively to the adjective (philon)
542 Euthyf|     arguments, on whatever ground we rest them, seem to turn round
543 Euthyf|            to the attainment of some result?~EUTHYPHRO: Yes, Socrates,
544 Euthyf|            that before the messenger returned from the diviner, he was
545 Euthyf|       younger. But, as I was saying, revered friend, the abundance of
546 Euthyf|           which is observable in the rhapsode Ion. But he is not a bad
547 Euthyf|            Zeus as the best and most righteous of the gods?—and yet they
548 Euthyf|            of differences which give rise to quarrels. And therefore
549 Euthyf|            would not have run such a risk of doing wrong in the sight
550 Euthyf|             of them; and notably the robe of Athene, which is carried
551 Euthyf|        murderer lives under the same roof with you and eats at the
552 Euthyf|        assembly, as Heracleitus more rudely proposed, at any rate were
553 Euthyf|           murder. You would not have run such a risk of doing wrong
554 Euthyf|             who is guilty of murder, sacrilege, or of any similar crime—
555 Euthyf|        sacrifices. Such piety is the salvation of families and states,
556 Euthyf|             which when we are unable satisfactorily to decide our differences,
557 Euthyf|          first of all to have a more satisfactory answer to the question, ‘
558 Euthyf|              at any suggestion which saves him from the trouble of
559 Euthyf|          Daedalus; and if I were the sayer or propounder of them, you

561 Euthyf|             and I entreat you not to scorn me, but to apply your mind

564 Euthyf|      reserved in your behaviour, and seldom impart your wisdom. But
565 Euthyf|               He has the conceit and self-confidence of a Sophist; no doubt that

569 Euthyf|             you are the Daedalus who sets arguments in motion; not

571 Euthyf|           even this Meletus; but his sharp eyes have found me out at
572 Euthyf|             will go on, and will not shift the indictment from me to
573 Euthyf|            view to the building of a ship.~SOCRATES: As there is an
574 Euthyf|           art which ministers to the ship-builder with a view to the attainment
575 Euthyf|            is loved of the gods,’ is shipwrecked on a refined distinction

578 Euthyf|              figure having two equal sides. Do you not agree?~EUTHYPHRO:
579 Euthyf|           risk of doing wrong in the sight of the gods, and you would
580 Euthyf|        parted from Socrates with the significant words: ‘That in any city,
581 Euthyf|             any other indications of similarity or difference, and still
582       | since
583 Euthyf|           match for him. He is quite sincere in his prosecution of his
584 Euthyf|        father with murder,’ may be a single instance of piety, but can
585 Euthyf|            mean. The poet (Stasinus) sings—~‘Of Zeus, the author and
586 Euthyf|              them, but only a person skilled in horsemanship. Is it not
587 Euthyf|          slain one of their domestic slaves in Naxos. The guilty person
588 Euthyf|            our domestic servants and slew him. My father bound him
589 Euthyf|              them is, that they were slowly learning what we are in
590       | somehow
591 Euthyf|             what the end will be you soothsayers only can predict.~EUTHYPHRO:
592 Euthyf|           the great poets Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Pindar had unconsciously
593 Euthyf|              of law: they commit all sorts of crimes, and there is
594 Euthyf|              a great theologian, and sound in his opinions; and if
595 Euthyf|             find that you are a good speaker. There was a notion that
596 Euthyf|              up rash innovations and speculations, in which I indulged only
597 Euthyf|        religionist, and is elsewhere spoken of, if he be the same person,
598 Euthyf|              that the statement will stand the test of enquiry.~SOCRATES:
599 Euthyf|             wonder at your words not standing firm, but walking away?
600 Euthyf|             I do not mean. The poet (Stasinus) sings—~‘Of Zeus, the author
601 Euthyf|            salvation of families and states, just as the impious, which
602 Euthyf|         reappear in the Republic and Statesman. But neither from these
603 Euthyf|             is in a hurry and cannot stay. And Socrates’ last hope
604 Euthyf|            names, by whose ‘prancing steeds’ Socrates in the Cratylus
605 Euthyf|               This is only the first step; he will afterwards attend
606 Euthyf|         Socrates, who is desirous of stimulating the indolent intelligence
607 Euthyf|            for they would never have stirred, as far as I am concerned.~
608 Euthyf|             things true and good, he stops short; this was a lesson
609 Euthyf|             I cannot away with these stories about the gods? and therefore
610 Euthyf|              he has a beak, and long straight hair, and a beard which
611 Euthyf|            was; for if he had been a stranger you would never have thought
612 Euthyf|             man, and have made great strides in wisdom, before he could
613 Euthyf|      Socrates, although weary of the subterfuges and evasions of Euthyphro,

615 Euthyf|              different. Through such subtleties of dialectic Socrates is

618 Euthyf|              of suffering because it suffers. Do you not agree?~EUTHYPHRO:

620 Euthyf|          Socrates was put to death,’ suggested by the way. Another is conveyed
621 Euthyf|           and eagerly catches at any suggestion which saves him from the
622 Euthyf|             arguments respecting the suitableness of this little work to aid
623 Euthyf|              put an end to them by a sum?~EUTHYPHRO: True.~SOCRATES:
624 Euthyf|           better than assent to your superior wisdom. What else can I
625 Euthyf|              And I, Euthyphro, never supposed that you did. I asked you
626 Euthyf|         impious so very exact, that, supposing the circumstances to be
627 Euthyf|           wise; but the Athenians, I suspect, do not much trouble themselves
628 Euthyf|           his dislike of them, as he suspects, has branded him with the
629 Euthyf|              these notions, (compare Symp.; Republic; Politicus.)
630 Euthyf|             you and eats at the same table, proceed against him. Now
631 Euthyf|         murderer, and I ought not to take any notice, for that a son
632       | taking
633 Euthyf|           Athenians may think me too talkative. Now if, as I was saying,
634 Euthyf|          Daedalus, and the wealth of Tantalus, to be able to detain them
635 Euthyf|              indicting him who is my teacher, and who will be the ruin,
636 Euthyf|         lesson, which philosophy was teaching, that Homer and Hesiod,

638 Euthyf|          works of great artists? The temples are full of them; and notably
639 Euthyf|             and all other things are tended or attended for their good
640 Euthyf|             statement will stand the test of enquiry.~SOCRATES: We

642       | themselves
643 Euthyf|              Euthyphro to be a great theologian, and sound in his opinions;
644 Euthyf|           from one another. For one (theophiles) is of a kind to be loved
645 Euthyf|              him from the trouble of thinking. Moreover he is the enemy
646 Euthyf|              piety.~Then follows the third and last definition, ‘Piety
647       | Though
648 Euthyf|          bound him hand and foot and threw him into a ditch, and then
649 Euthyf|              accurately will be very tiresome. Let me simply say that
650 Euthyf|            to be the rule of popular toleration in most other countries,
651 Euthyf|            never attended to him and took no care about him, for he
652 Euthyf|        ignorance in that very matter touching which Socrates is accused.
653 Euthyf|             ask you not to hide your treasure, but to tell me once more
654 Euthyf|            EUTHYPHRO: What else, but tributes of honour; and, as I was
655 Euthyf|             and as he is going to be tried for impiety himself, he
656 Euthyf|            answered me I should have truly learned of you by this time
657 Euthyf|      EUTHYPHRO: I am never likely to try their temper in this way.~
658 Euthyf|         acceptable to Hephaestus but unacceptable to Here, and there may be

662 Euthyf|        knowledge, is very willing to undertake all the responsibility,
663 Euthyf|            that before he could have undertaken the responsibility of such
664 Euthyf|         letter, or of the narrow and unenlightened conscience, and the higher
665 Euthyf|       including the judges, to be an unimpeachable authority) what piety is,
666 Euthyf|        anticipated, and which is the universal want of all men. To this
667 Euthyf|             as the impious, which is unpleasing to the gods, is their ruin
668 Euthyf|       evasions of Euthyphro, remains unshaken in his conviction that he

670 Euthyf|            to apply your mind to the utmost, and tell me the truth.

677 Euthyf|       EUTHYPHRO: Nay, he is not very volatile at his time of life.~SOCRATES:

679 Euthyf|             may be liked by another? Waiving this last, however, Socrates
680 Euthyf|         words not standing firm, but walking away? Will you accuse me
681 Euthyf|           the sort of answer which I wanted. But whether what you say
682 Euthyf|              not say that victory in war is the chief of them?~EUTHYPHRO:
683 Euthyf|          dispute; and so there arise wars and fightings among them.~
