Abstract
Leaving behind a strictly structural reading of the poem, this chapter investigates the implications of the Epimethean and Promethean myths that arise within the poem in an attempt to parse what share human beings have in the obtainment and exercise of virtue, and whether even the gods are able to pursue virtue in opposition to necessity. Failing that possibility, the chapter expounds on the necessary self-defeat of Socrates’s own argument.
