Title: | Entre o epos e o logos: Xenófanes de Cólofon | Other Titles: | From epos to logos: Xenophanes of Colophon | Authors: | Pereira, Maria Helena da Rocha | Issue Date: | 2000 | Publisher: | Faculdade de Letras da Universidade de Coimbra, Instituto de Estudos Clássicos | Abstract: | Taking 'epos' and 'logos' in their more current meanings of 'epic poetry' and 'reason', and taking into account the new theories placing literacy in Greece at the beginning of the 8th century BC, while postulating its use in the composition of the Homeric epics, the author tries to reappraise several fragments of Xenophanes's in the light of the contrast between an inherited formulaic diction and a rational view of the world. Discussion centers mostly on fragments dealing with the idea of Goa and with the limitations of human knowledge. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316.2/28173 | ISSN: | 2183-1718 |
