Abstract

Long before the appearance of the term ‘allegory’ (attested for the first time within Stoicism), there came into use in ancient Greece, from the sixth century. a. C., an allegorical interpretation of the mythic narratives preserved in the Homeric and Hesiodic poems; this practice took hold in the classical age, especially at the hands of the Sophists. In more remote dates, perhaps as early as the Iliad, we can see the interest of poets and philosophers towards such a device, so well-suited for didactic or satirical purposes.
