friend responds. But Socrates refer to contradict himself

Have we not said, Euthyphro, that there are quarrels and disagreements and hatreds
among the gods? We have, and then you said that just the other another and that
what some of them holds to be honorable or good, other hold to be dishonorable or
evil, and the same thing will be displeasing to them?

“Apparently”

“Then according to your account, the same thing will be pious and impious”
