Piety, then, is that which is dear to the gods, and impiety is that which is not dear to them.
I find this sentence within the reading to be quite enlightening and it helped me make more sense of the reading as a whole as well. In this passage, Euthyphro finally gives Socrates an answer to his question, "what is piety?" The definition Euthyphro gives is enlightening to me because it is a different and new definition than what I have heard and known to be before this reading. Piety to me would be what is true and good. Thus, I suppose when really thinking about it, the good and true is in fact dear to the god's, so this definition Euthyphro gives does then make sense. The God's believe in pious and moral acts.
