Virtues and Vices

To say that Euthyphro was virtuous or had many vices would be inaccurate, for I really don’t think he has either in the pure sense of the definition.
Euthyphro seeks to be virtuous. He wants to find a quality of being good and righteous, but he has not yet accomplished that. At the beginning Euthyphro would have definitely defined himself as virtuous, but as the story progresses Socrates shows him that he is not one to decide whether or not his actions are virtuous or pious. By the end of the discussion, Euthyphro needs to rethink what his definition of piety is and if his actions really constitute him as a pious person.
While this would definitely be considered admirable and noble, I wouldn’t say that it is virtuous. He does have his flaws and shortcomings, but I wouldn’t consider these vices either. As a vice is defined as an immoral or wicked habit or characteristic, Euthyphro is almost the opposite of this. He wants to find what is right in the world so he can carry out what is pious. Sure his sense of piousness is flawed, as Socrates quickly points out, but that only encourages him to rethink his values. Euthyphro is fairly flexible and not as defensive as some might be if they were presented with such strongly supported opposition to their views.
Euthyphro, of course, has his good and bad points, as any normal person would. However his ability to think through problems and edit what he was so sure was correct to begin with is definitely commendable.
