Euthyphro attempts to explain what he means by dividing justice into the therapeia of gods and the therapeia of men, but Socrates continues to treat therapeia ("tending") as if it is techne (craft). Last time the therapeiai made animals better, while this time the therapeiai lead to positive ends, such as health. Euthyphro's portrayal of the relationship between men and gods as between slaves and masters is not quite the same as Socrates' portrayal of craftsmen as servants. Their masters accomplish good things through the craftsmen, but what good things do the gods achieve through men?
