Abstract
One of the central ideas of the present article is that the unity of myth and logos must be referred to the dramatic unity of a platonic dialogue. This is not an impediment to distinguish between two different types of discourse: rational and mythic. The eschatology cannot be rationally tackled because of the uncertainty which makes impossible in this case a knowledge of the future reserved to souls. This determines a rhetorical situation which makes necessary the kind of persuasion that can be attained through the eschatological myth.Format
