Question:

1. What does Euthyphro first propose as a definition of piety?

2. What about the gods? Do they have different conceptions about what is good and evil, just and unjust? Why does this pose a problem for Euthyphro’s first definition of piety (or goodness)?

3. To respond to Socrates, Euthyphro amends his definition of piety. How?

4. Socrates then asks another question of Euthyphro. What is it?

5. How does this help them to agree on which comes first: being pious or being loved by the gods?

6. What does Socrates suggest is yet needed to give a definition of piety or goodness?
