Plato argues against the divine command theory by claiming that

    { 1 } - the gods don't exist.
    { 2 } - since the gods disagree about what is good and bad, the same things would have to be both good and bad.
    { 3 } - there is no way to know what the gods approve of.

2 is correct!

Plato argues against the divine command theory by claiming that

    { 1 } - the gods don't exist.
    { 2 } - since the gods disagree about what is good and bad, the same things would have to be both good and bad.
    { 3 } - there is no way to know what the gods approve of.

He proposes, against this objection, that perhaps what the gods all approve of is "good," what they all disapprove of is "bad," and what they disagree about is neither "good" nor "bad."
