Euthyphro, being a seer in his spare time,considers Socrates to be unjustly charged with inventing new gods (as if the writ itself is an act of injustice). Meletus, Socrates' prosecutor, and the Many, do not take seriously the idea of a personal daemon, and fail to understand Socrates' daimonion (demonic power). Euthyphro identifies with Socrates as a victim of the Many, since Euthyphro himself is (according to him) similarly mocked in the people's assembly whenever he predicts the future.
