The first book-length, literary-critical study of the Presocratic philosopher-poets, Xenophanes, Parmenides and Empedocles. Sheds new light on these authors' philosophical projects and enriches our appreciation of their works as literary artefacts, also arguing that they played an important role in the development of Greek poetics.
