Euthyphro was known to be one of Plato's dialogues (between Socrates and Euthyphro).

Euthyphro was aparently a noted religious expert in the Classical Age of Greece. He and Socrates discussed the issue of piety - and what constituted piety - in this particular dialogue.

In the dialog "Euthyphro," Socrates is questioning Euthyphro about the nature of piety and impiety. He wants Euthyphro to define what piety is and to provide a clear explanation of the difference between pious and impious actions. Socrates is ultimately searching for a universal definition of piety that is not based on personal opinions or beliefs.

Euthyphro's dilemma is a philosophical question about the nature of morality and whether something is good because the gods command it, or whether the gods command it because it is good. This question was posed by Plato in his dialogue "Euthyphro" and continues to be a subject of debate in ethical theory.

Socrates wants to become Euthyphro's student because he admires Euthyphro's knowledge and expertise in matters of religion and ethics. Socrates hopes to learn from Euthyphro and engage in philosophical discussions to deepen his own understanding of morality and piety.

The Euthyphro dilemma. "Are morally good acts willed by God because they are morally good, or are they morally good because they are willed by God?"
