 21 Intro|         occurred in the family of Euthyphro, a learned Athenian diviner
 22 Intro|           of the discussion.~This Euthyphro and Socrates are represented
 23 Intro|        suit against another); and Euthyphro too is plaintiff in an action
 24 Intro|           ditch by the command of Euthyphro’s father, who sent to the

 27 Intro|      impiety. What then is piety?~Euthyphro, who, in the abundance of
 28 Intro|       true?’ ‘Yes, they are;’ and Euthyphro will gladly tell Socrates
 29 Intro|          as a general definition.~Euthyphro replies, that ‘Piety is
 30 Intro|      chastisement of your father, Euthyphro, may be dear or pleasing
 31 Intro|         the hands of their sons).~Euthyphro answers that there is no
 32 Intro|         hate is impious.’ To this Euthyphro agrees.~Socrates proceeds
 33 Intro|    appears to be a contradiction,—Euthyphro has been giving an attribute
 34 Intro|        only, and not the essence. Euthyphro acknowledges himself that
 35 Intro|          indolent intelligence of Euthyphro, raises the question in
 36 Intro|        part of justice is piety?’ Euthyphro replies that piety is that

 45 Text |           THE DIALOGUE: Socrates, Euthyphro.~SCENE: The Porch of the
 46 Text |         Porch of the King Archon.~EUTHYPHRO: Why have you left the Lyceum,
 47 Text |          SOCRATES: Not in a suit, Euthyphro; impeachment is the word
 48 Text |          which the Athenians use.~EUTHYPHRO: What! I suppose that some
 49 Text |          SOCRATES: Certainly not.~EUTHYPHRO: Then some one else has
 50 Text |   prosecuting you?~SOCRATES: Yes.~EUTHYPHRO: And who is he?~SOCRATES:
 51 Text |          man who is little known, Euthyphro; and I hardly know him:
 52 Text |         beard which is ill grown.~EUTHYPHRO: No, I do not remember him,
 53 Text |          great public benefactor.~EUTHYPHRO: I hope that he may; but
 54 Text |         ground of his indictment.~EUTHYPHRO: I understand, Socrates;
 55 Text |            Their laughter, friend Euthyphro, is not a matter of much
 56 Text |         jealousy, they are angry.~EUTHYPHRO: I am never likely to try
 57 Text |     soothsayers only can predict.~EUTHYPHRO: I dare say that the affair
 58 Text |            And what is your suit, Euthyphro? are you the pursuer or
 59 Text |         pursuer or the defendant?~EUTHYPHRO: I am the pursuer.~SOCRATES:
 60 Text |       pursuer.~SOCRATES: Of whom?~EUTHYPHRO: You will think me mad when
 61 Text |           has the fugitive wings?~EUTHYPHRO: Nay, he is not very volatile
 62 Text |        life.~SOCRATES: Who is he?~EUTHYPHRO: My father.~SOCRATES: Your
 63 Text |         Your father! my good man?~EUTHYPHRO: Yes.~SOCRATES: And of what
 64 Text |        And of what is he accused?~EUTHYPHRO: Of murder, Socrates.~SOCRATES:
 65 Text |          SOCRATES: By the powers, Euthyphro! how little does the common
 66 Text |          to bring such an action.~EUTHYPHRO: Indeed, Socrates, he must.~
 67 Text |       thought of prosecuting him.~EUTHYPHRO: I am amused, Socrates,
 68 Text |           SOCRATES: Good heavens, Euthyphro! and is your knowledge of
 69 Text |       action against your father?~EUTHYPHRO: The best of Euthyphro,
 70 Text |            EUTHYPHRO: The best of Euthyphro, and that which distinguishes
 71 Text |           say to him, acknowledge Euthyphro to be a great theologian,
 72 Text |           challenge in the court.~EUTHYPHRO: Yes, indeed, Socrates;
 73 Text |     includes whatever is impious?~EUTHYPHRO: To be sure, Socrates.~SOCRATES:
 74 Text |       piety, and what is impiety?~EUTHYPHRO: Piety is doing as I am
 75 Text |           not this be the reason, Euthyphro, why I am charged with impiety—
 76 Text |       believe that they are true.~EUTHYPHRO: Yes, Socrates; and things
 77 Text |           tales of the gods true, Euthyphro?~EUTHYPHRO: Yes, Socrates;
 78 Text |         the gods true, Euthyphro?~EUTHYPHRO: Yes, Socrates; and, as
 79 Text |          your father with murder.~EUTHYPHRO: And what I said was true,
 80 Text |     Socrates.~SOCRATES: No doubt, Euthyphro; but you would admit that
 81 Text |        are many other pious acts?~EUTHYPHRO: There are.~SOCRATES: Remember
 82 Text |     impious, and the pious pious?~EUTHYPHRO: I remember.~SOCRATES: Tell
 83 Text |      pious, such another impious.~EUTHYPHRO: I will tell you, if you
 84 Text |          I should very much like.~EUTHYPHRO: Piety, then, is that which
 85 Text |        them.~SOCRATES: Very good, Euthyphro; you have now given me the
 86 Text |          the truth of your words.~EUTHYPHRO: Of course.~SOCRATES: Come,
 87 Text |       another. Was not that said?~EUTHYPHRO: It was.~SOCRATES: And well
 88 Text |          SOCRATES: And well said?~EUTHYPHRO: Yes, Socrates, I thought
 89 Text |            SOCRATES: And further, Euthyphro, the gods were admitted
 90 Text |          hatreds and differences?~EUTHYPHRO: Yes, that was also said.~
 91 Text |          an end to them by a sum?~EUTHYPHRO: True.~SOCRATES: Or suppose
 92 Text |         differences by measuring?~EUTHYPHRO: Very true.~SOCRATES: And
 93 Text |  resorting to a weighing machine?~EUTHYPHRO: To be sure.~SOCRATES: But
 94 Text |         quarrel? (Compare Alcib.)~EUTHYPHRO: Yes, Socrates, the nature
 95 Text |       quarrels of the gods, noble Euthyphro, when they occur, are of
 96 Text |      occur, are of a like nature?~EUTHYPHRO: Certainly they are.~SOCRATES:
 97 Text |      differences—would there now?~EUTHYPHRO: You are quite right.~SOCRATES:
 98 Text |        hate the opposite of them?~EUTHYPHRO: Very true.~SOCRATES: But,
 99 Text |         and fightings among them.~EUTHYPHRO: Very true.~SOCRATES: Then
100 Text |         hateful and dear to them?~EUTHYPHRO: True.~SOCRATES: And upon
101 Text |        this view the same things, Euthyphro, will be pious and also
102 Text |           pious and also impious?~EUTHYPHRO: So I should suppose.~SOCRATES:
103 Text |           by them. And therefore, Euthyphro, in thus chastising your
104 Text |           differences of opinion.~EUTHYPHRO: But I believe, Socrates,
105 Text |        Well, but speaking of men, Euthyphro, did you ever hear any one
106 Text |    evil-doer ought to be let off?~EUTHYPHRO: I should rather say that
107 Text |           they admit their guilt, Euthyphro, and yet say that they ought
108 Text |         ought not to be punished?~EUTHYPHRO: No; they do not.~SOCRATES:
109 Text |         their guilt, do they not?~EUTHYPHRO: Yes.~SOCRATES: Then they
110 Text |         and what he did and when?~EUTHYPHRO: True.~SOCRATES: And the
111 Text |  injustice is not to be punished?~EUTHYPHRO: That is true, Socrates,
112 Text |         unjust. Is not that true?~EUTHYPHRO: Quite true.~SOCRATES: Well
113 Text |         Well then, my dear friend Euthyphro, do tell me, for my better
114 Text |         wisdom as long as I live.~EUTHYPHRO: It will be a difficult
115 Text |          and hateful to the gods.~EUTHYPHRO: Yes indeed, Socrates; at
116 Text |        myself: ‘Well, and what if Euthyphro does prove to me that all
117 Text |          to them.’ And therefore, Euthyphro, I do not ask you to prove
118 Text |  definition of piety and impiety?~EUTHYPHRO: Why not, Socrates?~SOCRATES:
119 Text |         as far as I am concerned, Euthyphro, there is no reason why
120 Text |       matter for you to consider.~EUTHYPHRO: Yes, I should say that
121 Text |           into the truth of this, Euthyphro, or simply to accept the
122 Text |          others? What do you say?~EUTHYPHRO: We should enquire; and
123 Text |           is beloved of the gods.~EUTHYPHRO: I do not understand your
124 Text |         what the difference lies?~EUTHYPHRO: I think that I understand.~
125 Text |   distinct from that which loves?~EUTHYPHRO: Certainly.~SOCRATES: Well;
126 Text |         or for some other reason?~EUTHYPHRO: No; that is the reason.~
127 Text |          led and of what is seen?~EUTHYPHRO: True.~SOCRATES: And a thing
128 Text |         of this. And now I think, Euthyphro, that my meaning will be
129 Text |        suffers. Do you not agree?~EUTHYPHRO: Yes.~SOCRATES: Is not that
130 Text |         of becoming or suffering?~EUTHYPHRO: Yes.~SOCRATES: And the
131 Text |        and not the act the state.~EUTHYPHRO: Certainly.~SOCRATES: And
132 Text |         what do you say of piety, Euthyphro: is not piety, according
133 Text |            loved by all the gods?~EUTHYPHRO: Yes.~SOCRATES: Because
134 Text |         or for some other reason?~EUTHYPHRO: No, that is the reason.~
135 Text |         holy because it is loved?~EUTHYPHRO: Yes.~SOCRATES: And that
136 Text |      because it is loved of them?~EUTHYPHRO: Certainly.~SOCRATES: Then
137 Text |        which is dear to the gods, Euthyphro, is not holy, nor is that
138 Text |         are two different things.~EUTHYPHRO: How do you mean, Socrates?~
139 Text |         holy because it is loved.~EUTHYPHRO: Yes.~SOCRATES: But that
140 Text |       because it is dear to them.~EUTHYPHRO: True.~SOCRATES: But, friend
141 Text |       True.~SOCRATES: But, friend Euthyphro, if that which is holy is
142 Text |            Thus you appear to me, Euthyphro, when I ask you what is
143 Text |    quarrel); and what is impiety?~EUTHYPHRO: I really do not know, Socrates,
144 Text |         us.~SOCRATES: Your words, Euthyphro, are like the handiwork
145 Text |    inclination to be on the move.~EUTHYPHRO: Nay, Socrates, I shall
146 Text |           pious necessarily just?~EUTHYPHRO: Yes.~SOCRATES: And is,
147 Text |          part and not all, pious?~EUTHYPHRO: I do not understand you,
148 Text |         tell you in what respect?~EUTHYPHRO: By all means.~SOCRATES:
149 Text |        the objects of their fear.~EUTHYPHRO: Very true.~SOCRATES: But
150 Text |      afraid of an ill reputation.~EUTHYPHRO: No doubt.~SOCRATES: Then
151 Text |           that you follow me now?~EUTHYPHRO: Quite well.~SOCRATES: That
152 Text |           a part. Do you dissent?~EUTHYPHRO: No, I think that you are
153 Text |          sides. Do you not agree?~EUTHYPHRO: Yes, I quite agree.~SOCRATES:
154 Text |    holiness, and their opposites.~EUTHYPHRO: Piety or holiness, Socrates,
155 Text |           SOCRATES: That is good, Euthyphro; yet still there is a little
156 Text |       horsemanship. Is it not so?~EUTHYPHRO: Certainly.~SOCRATES: I
157 Text |           of attending to horses?~EUTHYPHRO: Yes.~SOCRATES: Nor is every
158 Text |            but only the huntsman?~EUTHYPHRO: True.~SOCRATES: And I should
159 Text |         art of attending to dogs?~EUTHYPHRO: Yes.~SOCRATES: As the art
160 Text |         art of attending to oxen?~EUTHYPHRO: Very true.~SOCRATES: In
161 Text |       that would be your meaning, Euthyphro?~EUTHYPHRO: Yes.~SOCRATES:
162 Text |          your meaning, Euthyphro?~EUTHYPHRO: Yes.~SOCRATES: And is not
163 Text |           improved, are they not?~EUTHYPHRO: True.~SOCRATES: As the
164 Text |           and not for their hurt?~EUTHYPHRO: Certainly, not for their
165 Text |     SOCRATES: But for their good?~EUTHYPHRO: Of course.~SOCRATES: And
166 Text |           any of the gods better?~EUTHYPHRO: No, no; that was certainly
167 Text |           meant.~SOCRATES: And I, Euthyphro, never supposed that you
168 Text |         thought that you did not.~EUTHYPHRO: You do me justice, Socrates;
169 Text |       gods which is called piety?~EUTHYPHRO: It is such, Socrates, as
170 Text |         ministration to the gods.~EUTHYPHRO: Exactly.~SOCRATES: Medicine
171 Text |      would you not say of health?~EUTHYPHRO: I should.~SOCRATES: Again,
172 Text |        attainment of some result?~EUTHYPHRO: Yes, Socrates, with a view
173 Text |          the building of a house?~EUTHYPHRO: Yes.~SOCRATES: And now
174 Text |           instructed in religion.~EUTHYPHRO: And I speak the truth,
175 Text |        help of our ministrations?~EUTHYPHRO: Many and fair, Socrates,
176 Text |         war is the chief of them?~EUTHYPHRO: Certainly.~SOCRATES: Many
177 Text |           of food from the earth?~EUTHYPHRO: Exactly.~SOCRATES: And
178 Text |           chief or principal one?~EUTHYPHRO: I have told you already,
179 Text |           question which I asked, Euthyphro, if you had chosen. But
180 Text |          praying and sacrificing?~EUTHYPHRO: Yes, I do.~SOCRATES: And
181 Text |     prayer is asking of the gods?~EUTHYPHRO: Yes, Socrates.~SOCRATES:
182 Text |     science of asking and giving?~EUTHYPHRO: You understand me capitally,
183 Text |           and give gifts to them?~EUTHYPHRO: Yes, I do.~SOCRATES: Is
184 Text |         ask of them what we want?~EUTHYPHRO: Certainly.~SOCRATES: And
185 Text |           which he does not want.~EUTHYPHRO: Very true, Socrates.~SOCRATES:
186 Text |   Socrates.~SOCRATES: Then piety, Euthyphro, is an art which gods and
187 Text |        business with one another?~EUTHYPHRO: That is an expression which
188 Text |    greatly the advantage of them.~EUTHYPHRO: And do you imagine, Socrates,
189 Text |      gifts?~SOCRATES: But if not, Euthyphro, what is the meaning of
190 Text |    conferred by us upon the gods?~EUTHYPHRO: What else, but tributes
191 Text |       beneficial or dear to them?~EUTHYPHRO: I should say that nothing
192 Text |        piety is dear to the gods?~EUTHYPHRO: Certainly.~SOCRATES: And
193 Text |         gods? Have you forgotten?~EUTHYPHRO: I quite remember.~SOCRATES:
194 Text |          dear to them—do you see?~EUTHYPHRO: True.~SOCRATES: Then either
195 Text |           then, we are wrong now.~EUTHYPHRO: One of the two must be
196 Text |           Speak out then, my dear Euthyphro, and do not hide your knowledge.~
197 Text |          not hide your knowledge.~EUTHYPHRO: Another time, Socrates;
