This particular paper refers to Plato’s effort in the dialogue of “Ion” to prove to the homonymous rhapsodist that his skill in rhapsodic art – and especially in Homer – is not a result of professional art and science, but is due to divine power. Socrates in this Platonic dialogue develops the theory of divine inspiration. A divine impulse occupies the poets and then the rhapsodists to “emerge out of themselves” and to become the unconscious mouthpiece of a higher power that temporarily occupies them and inspires them to interpret their poems. In fact, Ion protested in a special way – and for the first time in Plato’s work – the controversy of poetry and philosophy, aiming to make a meaningful reference to the superiority of the “crown of the sciences”.
