Sommario/riassunto

Thanassas (Aristotle U. of Thessaloniki) grapples to make sense of the poem fragment Peri Physeôs (On Nature) by pre-Socratic Greek philosopher and poet Parmenides. His perspectives include the poem and its legacy, the signs of being, and the human and the divine. He appends a translation of the fragments.
