Parmenides' philosophical fragments are here given as the poetic remains of the thinker from Elea in Southern Italy whom Socrates wondered at and Plato held in awe. What emerges from the poetry is at once an uncompromising vision of absolute Being and a compassionate understanding of the human cosmos:
It is the body grows to Mind.
All men desire the same thing, apprehend the same
The plenum is thought, and thought preponderates.
The poetry of Empedocles--reincarnationist, naturalist, cosmologist, religious leader, physiologist, and a metaphysician--is presented here in the personal idiom of the fifth-century Sicilian who has been called the last of the Greek shamans:
I have already been
A bush and a bird
A boy and a girl
A mute fish in the sea.
