Philosophical Muse: Poems on Hellenic Philosophy in Greek and English (The Hellenic Muses);

This poetic collection, published in Greek and English on facing pages, is rather unusual in that it is comprised of poems which are related either to Ancient Hellenic philosophers or to some traditional philosophical themes regarding ontology, cosmology, anthropology, epistemology, psychology, aesthetics, and ethical and political theory. The poems attempt to revive an Ancient Greek tradition that goes back to the Presocratic philosophers, some of whom were also accomplished poets. Each poem is intended to honor the memory and express the basic ideas of an Ancient Hellenic philosopher, or to elaborate on a philosophical theme which was of interest to those philosophers, and may still be of interest to students of philosophy and the educated public.
