A close analysis of the Republic s diverse literary styles shows
how the peculiarities of verbal texture in Platonic discourse can
be explained by Plato s remolding of tropes and techniques from
poetry and the Presocratics. This book argues that Plato smuggles
poetic language into the Republic s prose in order to characterize
the deceitful coloration and polymorphy that accompanies the world
of Becoming as opposed to the Real. Plato s distinctive discourse
thus can transmit, even to those figures focused on the visual
within his Republic, the shiftiness of the base and the unjust."
