摘要

In the proem of his didactic poem, Parmenides describes the act of knowledge with the image of the path. This path begins in the realm of night (B1, 9, ed. Diels-Kranz, vol. I, p. 229). From there, the philosopher ascends carried by mares that are led by the Heliades, the daughters of the sun. The journey is bound for the realm of light, where truth opens up to the philosopher. But first he must pass through the gate of knowledge, whose key holds Justice (Δίκη).
