What is the most charitable way of reading Euthyphro's suggestion that holiness is a kind of service to the gods? What different ways are there of reading this suggestion and which do you think it the most defensible?

What is the final lesson that we are to draw from theEuthyphro? Why did Plato write it?

Is there a satisfactory definition of holiness? Do either Plato or Socrates think there is? What might this definition be?
