The Bow and the Lyre: A Platonic Reading of the Odyssey
The Bow and the Lyre A Platonic Reading of the Odyssey
Author: Seth Benardete
In this interpretation of the Odyssey, Seth Benardete suggests that Homer may have been the first to philosophize in a Platonic sense. He argues that the Odyssey concerns precisely the relation between philosophy and poetry and, more broadly, the rational and the irrational in human beings.
