The amount of definitions we were given for "Pious" and "Impious" was overwhelming to me. You have 1: what Euthyphro is doing; prosecuting wrong doers whoever they are. (Which is really just an instance of piety) 2: What is dear to the gods. 3: What is loved by all the gods. 4: The part of justice that is concerned with the care of the gods. and 5: saying and doing what is pleasing to the gods at prayer and sacrifice. (so, really just repeating what is loved by the gods). Socrates of course questioned every answer of defining what is "Pious" by Euthyphro. He even switched his question from "How do you know what is pious?" to "What is Piety? Define it." Here's what I got from it, or what I found that they can agree on: 1. All gods understand what is pious 2. All gods love any action that is pious, because they love and understand piety.
P.s. I commented on Darby's and Ethan's
