The trial of Socrates and his death sentence is the central, unifying event of Plato's dialogues. It is relayed in the dialogues Apology, Crito, Euthyphron. There seem to be altogether three aims or interests in Euthyphro: The dialectical development of the idea of piety; the antithesis of true and false religion, which is carried to a certain extent only; the defence of Socrates.
