Socrates continues to run rings around Euthyphro with gods loving just acts, hating unjust acts, all the while disagreeing with each other, and yet Euthyphro remains blithely confident that all the gods love his prosecution of his father, and is happy to have the killing at the centre of his court case appear to be hated by all the gods. The subsequent definition of holiness (hosion) and unholiness seems to make all acts outside of Euthyphro's court case either both holy and unholy, or neither holy nor unoly, but Euthyphro is to wrapped up in his court case to notice.

Here I read through Platonic dialogues, translating and commenting on the Greek text as I go.
