Answer(s)

Answered by Professional Tutor: Mary

Socrates' response to Euthyphro's teachings addresses the belief that there are many gods and that they quarrel over what is pious and not pious. That is a contradiction and not acceptable, according to Socrates. Euthyphro then says that pious acts are only pious if all the gods love them, but Socrates states that still does not determine or address what made those acts pious originally. http://www.siue.edu/~wlarkin/teaching/PHIL111/euthyphro.html
