The cosmos of my words. A comparison between Hesiod's "Theogony" and Parmenides'poem "On nature"

Abstract

The article takes issue with the approach, still common among scholars, of dividing archaic Greek poetry and the emerging Greek philosophy from one another. In a comparison of Hesiod's "Theogony" and Parmenides's poem "On nature" , the author demonstrates the multiplicity of the relatedness and connectedness between the two works, especially in the sphere of truth - justice - and the structure of cosmos.
