Euthyphro is one of Plato's early dialogues, dated to after 399 BC. Taking place during the weeks leading up to Socrates' trial, the dialogue features Socrates and Euthyphro, [1] a religious expert also mentioned at Cratylus 396a and 396d, attempting to define piety or holiness.
Quotes
From WikiquoteEuthyphro: Well then, what is dear to the gods is pious, what is not is impious. Socrates: Splendid, Euthyphro! You have now answered in the way I wanted. Whether your answer is true I do not know yet, but you will obviously show me that what you say is true.
Socrates: …Is the pious being loved by the gods because it is pious, or is it pious because it is being loved by the gods?
Socrates: Piety would then be a sort of trading skill between gods and men? Euthyphro: Trading yes, if you prefer to call it that. Socrates: I prefer nothing, unless it is true.
