Description
In the philosophical poem Parmenides composed around 500BC he presents a goddess who denies movement and plurality and propagates an ontology that completely petrifies the world of phenomena. This is the communis opinio, against which the current interpretation is addressed. Parmenidean Truth does not deny the polymorphy of the Cosmos, but rather endeavors to noetically understand its unity as a result of participation in Being.
