This book explores the complex relationship between myth and philosophy in writings by Greek intellectuals between the late sixth and mid-fourth centuries BC. It shows how Plato and other philosophers used myth to express philosophic problems and traces a tradition of strictly rational and philosophical myth through two centuries.
