A strange man

Euthyphro was a man of many conflictions. He talks of being pious, yet he is prosecuting his father, he claims he is of the highest intelligence, yet Socrates must always question him, and his virtues can also be his vices.
In a list of his virtues, you can without a doubt say he is a righteous man. He is persecuting his own father because it is what he feels is his duty as a citizen. Another one of Euthyphro’s virtues is his confidence in his knowledge. He is being questioned by Socrates, who is known as one of the most intelligent man of the era, and Euthyphro feels confident enough to teach him and try to explain things to him. One of his last virtues is his patience. While Socrates was questioning him, many would have gotten annoyed with his constant questions but Euthyphro simply answered them as best as he could.
Yet he also has his vices, one of those vices being that he was to righteous. Persecuting his own father because it’s the right thing, not many people could do that to someone so near and dear to them. I feel this is a vice because he isn’t showing compassion or love which are vital emotions to living a happy life. His confidence in his knowledge is also a vice because it makes him arrogant and overly self-assured and makes him sound extremely arrogant, especially while talking to someone like Socrates. Lastly, his patience only lasts until he feels disrespected or challenged, and that should not be the case with such a virtue.
