Book Description HTML

In Ion, Plato presents a dialogue between his influential teacher Socrates and a distinguished rhapsode, Ion. While Socrates considers himself “a common man who only speak the truth” (47), Ion is proud and boastful, regarding himself as a rhapsode who can “speak about Homer better than any man” (47). The primary issues between these two contradictory characters’ are the difference between gift of speech and knowledge of speech, as well as the attending of oneself to moral by understanding an idea as a whole rather than superficially understanding.

    Even though some of the facts are repeated, most of the facts are really interesting! I loved it!

    For me, this book lost all of its entertainment value due the repetition of facts.

    i read the first 20 pages online, and found one "fact" that was repeated once, another that was repeated twice, and one that was written twice in the same space. i've also found some myths that have now been proven to be exactly that, but could possibly still be spread on the internet.also, i found this book to be much less than "fascinating" or "interesting"
