since poetry, especially the epic poetry of Homer and Hesiod, was central to Greek culture in the late archaic and classical periods, those individuals engaged in the formation and early development of philosophy, in many ways a reaction and alternative to conventional culture and forms of expression, inevitably engaged with their illustrious predecessors. Plato’s criticism of poetry in the Republic is the most obvious example. But in general, philosophers’ engagements range from criticism of the poets as established authorities to employment of them, in various ways, as constructive models or as corroborators of their ideas.
