Ευθύφρων

Ευθύφρων by Unknown pulls listeners into a brisk, razor-sharp exchange about piety, justice, and the art of definition in classical Athens. This enduring ancient text—part of the Classics (antiquity) and Ancient Texts traditions—records a probing dialogue between Socratic questioner and a religious expert, where basic moral concepts are examined with logical precision and rhetorical charm. Set against the backdrop of the Athenian legal scene, the dialogue models the Socratic method: careful questioning, refusal of easy answers, and an insistence on clear definitions. Themes include the nature of piety and impiety, the relationship between gods and morality, and the early development of ethical reasoning that would shape Western philosophical thought. Though brief, the work exemplifies the elegance of ancient argumentative prose and remains relevant to debates in theology, ethics, and philosophy of religion. Ideal for listeners drawn to Classics (antiquity), philosophy students, and anyone fascinated by how foundational ideas about right and wrong were first interrogated, this audiobook—available in original-language editions and modern translations—offers a compact, thought-provoking encounter with one of antiquity’s most influential dialogues.
