Equity’s remedial intervention may be traced back to the pharmacological ambiguity of writing, as construed by Plato in the dialogue  Phaedrus . It would be easy to read the Platonic recasting of the ambivalence of writing as a stark antagonism between remedies and poisons, which ultimately derives from the divide between Platonic models and copies. However, the construction of this dichotomy is part of a more general transformation, which predates Platonic narrations: during the process of elaboration of the Greek alphabetic written language, the relation of opposition emerges as the cornerstone of the new theoretical vocabulary of the philosophers. Before this process, in the Iliad  pharmaka  appear instead as almost always benign herbal preparations. In the later text of the  Odyssey , the various  pharmaka  have different effects, which may even radically diverge from each other: Helen’s pharmacy hosts a variety of  pharmaka , both healing and poisonous. And yet, this contrast is only recast as mere opposition in Aristotle’s systematization of the relation implied by Parmenides and revisited by Plato. The divergence between remedial and poisonous  pharmaka  in Helen’s pharmacy is then recaptured within the Christian bipolar view, which legal equity inherits. It may be time to claim the differential rather than oppositional distribution of  pharmaka , by ascribing the variety of juridical remedies to a multiplicity of equities.
