Socrates and His Deceptive Self

In class, it was asked, was Socrates being deceptive? I do feel like Socrates was being deceptive. I think he has to be “egging” him on to get different thoughts out. It s the only way to get Eurthyphro to answer the way Socrates wants him to answer. I also feel that if Socrates just came out and said his definition of pious and impious, no one would really take in what he is saying. This reminds you to think things thoroughly to get a conclusion.
