  1. Scenes from the Later Wanderings of Odysseus.M. J. Edwards - 1988 - Classical Quarterly 38 (2):509-521.
    That the most poetic of all the Greek philosophers should also be the severest judge of the poets was a perpetual embarrassment to his disciples and an invitation to enemies who could never have found their way into the difficulties of his thought.
