Daedalus

I have already read "Euthyphro" before, but one thing stuck out to me when reading it for a second time. Socrates mentions Daedalus, the father of Icarus, who crafts statues that can move themselves. Socrates keeps moving the conversation forward at every reply that Euthyphro gives, and Euthyphro wishes the discussion to remain the same. Socrates goes as far to say that he is wiser than Daedalus because Daedalus can only make the things move that he has created. Rereading this makes me appreciated the craftsmanship that goes into an intellectual discussion. Socrates says, "but I can make other people's things move as well as my own" (14). Socrates proves this by how he sways Euthyphro's statements throughout the story. Everything that Euthyphro believes to be true, Socrates can cut down.

I commented on Dallas and Daniel's.
