If you had no clear knowledge of piety and impiety you would never have ventured to prosecute your old father for murder on behalf of a servant. For fear of the gods you would have been afraid to take the risk lest you should not be acting rightly, and would have been ashamed before men, but now I know well that you believe [e] you have clear knowledge of piety and impiety. So tell me, my good Euthyphro, and do not hide what you think it is.
