Much like the video we watched on the first day of class about how you can judge a city by its skyline, by judging Euthyphro’s “skyline” we can judge who he is as a person. Euthyphro the second he meets up with Socrates wants to know Socrates’ business, even before Socrates speaks Euthyphro hints that he has a lawsuit in front of the King. I believe this first statement shows the true character of Euthyphro, which is far away from the pious man he makes himself out to be. If most people were forced to prosecute their father, the last thing they would think about is bringing it up in a conversation on the street. Euthyphro on the other hand practically pines at the chance to tell Socrates his business. For what you may ask? I believe Euthyphro was so insecure about his own piety that he is willing to show off the fact that, even when prosecuting his father was involved, he stuck to the letter of the law. However insecure he may be, after a little bit of baiting on Socrates part, he went into a full blown thinking match against Socrates and actually made a few strong points. The best quality of Euthyphro however, was that between the argument and the prosecution of his father, he always stuck to his virtues no matter what. Euthyphro was not a bad man even though Socrates made him out to be a fairly simple character, he was simply a device for Socrates to prove his points with.
