Socrates does not agree with the definitions of piety and impiety given by Euthyphro. He does this by leading questions that lead the hero’s reasoning to a dead end. The solution of the problem that follows from Socrates’ reasoning differs from the definitions of Euthyphro. So, he claims that gods are like people. The divine must be unique and universal: there can be no contradictions in it.
From the point of view of Euthyphro, the gods act as a subject: they create what is called God-loving. Thus, he draws a parallel between the God-loving and the pious, and in the interpretation of Socrates, these definitions are different concepts.
