Euthyphro’s second definition of piety is what is pleasing to the gods.

This would mean that a particular action‚ disputed by the gods‚ would be both pious and impious at the same time and this is a logically impossible situation. Euthyphro tries to argue against Socrates’ criticism by pointing out that not even the gods would disagree amongst

surprised me was that the definition of the word repent has nothing to do with saying or even being “sorry.” So I realized no matter how many times I tell God I’m sorry‚ it will never make a difference if I don’t know what it means to truly repent.

Euthyphro’s first suggestion‚ that piety is what he is doing now‚ is not only merely an example‚ not a definition‚ but Euthyphro is so pompous as to use himself as the standard with which to measure piety

It is not likely that consensus will ever be reached on the precise meaning‚ since different definitions serve different interests” (Taruskin 2013). Composers such as Jean Sibelius‚ Antonin Dvorak‚ and Vaughan Williams are examples of nationalistic composers (The Oxford Dictionary of Music 2013).
