Euthyphro has come to present charges of murder against his own father who, after arresting one of his workers for killing a slave from the family estate on Naxos Island, tied him and threw him in a ditch where he died of exposure to the elements (3e–4d) while Euthyphro's father waited to hear from the exegetes (cf. Laws 759d) about how to ...
Euthyphro proposes (6e) that the pious (τὸ ὅσιον) is the same thing as that which is loved by the gods (τὸ θεοφιλές), but Socrates finds a problem with this proposal: the gods may disagree among themselves (7e). Euthyphro then revises his definition, so that piety is only that which is loved by all of the gods unanimously (9e).

Socrates presents his third argument for the immortality of the soul, the so-called Affinity Argument, where he shows that the soul most resembles that which is invisible and divine, and the body resembles that which is visible and mortal. From this, it is concluded that while the body may be seen to exist after death in the form of a corpse ...
Throughout the dialogue, Euthydemus and Dionysodorus continually attempt to ensnare Socrates with what are presented as deceptive and meaningless arguments, primarily to demonstrate their professed philosophical superiority. As in many of the Socratic dialogues, the two Sophists against whom Socrates argues were indeed real people.
For there are plenty of other reasons we should believe that the action of the Euthyphro takes place very soon before Socrates's own trial, very likely even the same day; likewise, it is inconceivable that Euthyphro would still be appearing before the King Archon on a case that concerns a murder that took place years before: the King Archon is ...

The dramatic date of the Cratylus is uncertain, argued to be before 421, [1] circa 410, [7] or 399; [8] this makes gauging the exact Euthyphro's period of activity difficult. If the Cratylus is indeed set two decades prior, he would have been in his mid-forties in the Euthyphro, meaning his father was in his seventies and hence a contemporary ...
