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.

Far-Shooter. Foreseer. Wolf. Raven. Rat. Swan. Bringer of Health and Plague. Master of Song and Poetry. Lord of Truth and Enlightenment. Olympian God of prophecy and healing, archery and light and music, Apollo was honored throughout the ancient Mediterranean and across the Roman Empire. A paradoxical God, he is associated with both wisdom and virility, with compassion and cruelty, with fatherhood and youth. Twin to the virginal Artemis, he took many mortal lovers, male and female, and sired numerous children - at least one of whom, the healer Asklepios, ascended to godhood himself. Despite the deliberate destruction of His temples, Apollo was never forgotten. Renaissance artists and philosophers found in Him a worthy and willing patron, and in the centuries since his devotees have only grown in number. Among them are the contributors to this anthology, whose poems, essays, artwork, rites, and short fiction celebrate the God in all his wondrous complexity. And so we sing, as they did in ancient days: hail to you, Son of Thunder and Lightning. Io Paean!

In this exciting interpretation of the Odyssey, the late renowned scholar 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. In light of this possibility, Bernardete works back and forth from Homer to Plato to examine the relation between wisdom and justice and tries to recover an original understanding of philosophy that Plato, too, recovered by reflecting on the wisdom of the poet. At stake in his argument is no less than the history of philosophy and the ancient understanding of poetry. The Bow and the Lyre is a book that every classicist and historian of philosophy should have.

Download The Ballad of the White Horse Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
The Ballad of the White Horse is a poem by G. K. Chesterton about the idealized exploits of the Saxon King Alfred the Great. Written in ballad form, the work is usually considered one of the last great traditional epic poems ever written in the English language. The poem narrates how Alfred was able to defeat the invading Danes at the Battle of Ethandun under the auspices of God working through the agency of the Virgin Mary. In addition to being a narration of Alfred's military and political accomplishments, it is also considered a Catholic allegory. Chesterton incorporates a significant amount of philosophy into the basic structure of the story. Aeterna Press
