Long. 520 8 $a In 'Logoi and Muthoi', William Wians builds on his earlier volume 'Logos and Muthos' (ISBN 9781438427362), highlighting the richness and complexity of these terms that were once set firmly in opposition to one another as reason versus myth or rationality versus irrationality. It was once common to think of intellectual history representing a straightforward progression from mythology to rationality. These volumes, however, demonstrate the value of taking the two together, opening up and analyzing a range of interactions, reactions, tensions, and ambiguities arising between literary and philosophical forms of discourse, including philosophical themes in works not ordinarily considered in the canon of Greek philosophical texts. This new volume considers such topics as the pre-philosophical origins of Anaximander's calendar, the philosophical significance of public performance and claims of poetic inspiration, and the complex role of mythic figures (including perhaps Socrates) in Plato. Taken together, the essays offer new approaches to familiar texts and open up new possibilities for understanding the roles and relationships between 'muthos' and 'logos' in ancient Greek thought. 650 0 $a Philosophy, Ancient. 650 0 $a Literature $x Philosophy. 650 0 $a Greek literature $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Mythology, Greek. 650 6 $a Philosophie ancienne. 650 6 $a LitteÌrature grecque $x Histoire et critique. 650 6 $a Mythologie grecque. 650 7 $a Greek literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00947441 650 7 $a Literature $x Philosophy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01000005 650 7 $a Mythology, Greek. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01031804 650 7 $a Philosophy, Ancient. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01060860 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 700 1 $a Wians, William Robert, $e editor. 830 0 $a SUNY series in ancient Greek philosophy. 941 $a 1 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20230718100022.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E0A8F6D6214711EEBC7340321FECA4DB 994 $a 92 $b IOHInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
