What is "euthyphro"

Euthyphro (; ), [ca. 399–395 BCE], by Plato, is a dialogue that occurs in the weeks before the Trial of Socrates (399 BCE), for which Socrates and Euthyphro attempt to establish a definitive meaning for the word piety (holiness).

Euthyphro of Prospalta (; Greek: Εὑθύφρων Προσπάλτιος, Euthύphrōn Prospáltios; fl. 400 BCE) was an ancient Athenian religious prophet ( mantis) best known for his role in his eponymous dialogue written by the philosopher Plato. The debate between Euthyphro and Socrates therein influenced generations of theologians and gave rise to the question of the relationship between God and morality known as the Euthyphro dilemma.
