Description
This work considers myths through a detailed analysis of the afterlife myths of the Gorgias, Republic and Phaedo, as discursive tools that fulfil an admonitory function in their dialogical contexts. Through them, the narrator of the myth attempts to convince his listeners to lead a life guided by philosophical virtue. The analysis of the myths is preceded by the study of the Platonic understanding of Hades in the Apology and the Cratylus, as well as the allusions to it in the Protagoras. As a result, this book offers a unified view of the use of the afterlife myths in the Platonic dialogues.
