This article primarily tackles implicit poetic references in the Parmenides, trying to show that Plato adverts the reader that he’s going to adopt a different style of writing in the second part of this dialogue. The choice of a new dialogical form is a turning point in the evolution of Plato’s writing, and this new form of Socratic dialogue (paradoxically “non-Socratic”) will be reused and refined in later writings such as the Sophist, in which a clear allusion to the Parmenides’ literary innovation can be traced.
