metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: In Plato’s Ion, Socrates refers, among Olympus and Orpheus, to Phemius, “the rhapsode of
  Ithaca”. The reference seems to be inappropriate. It is meant to support the idea that rhapsodic
  declamation, though irrational as an interpretative activity, is to some extent an acquired skill,
  in the same way the other artistic forms are. But Phemius of the Odyssey claims (and Plato
  was well aware of that) his independence of tradition. “The rhapsode of Ithaca” is drastically
  in conflict with what Plato himself understands under rhapsodic art. So why did the need to
  mention him arose? The Phemius’ case concludes a series of examples representing inventores
  primi, both historic and legendary, of particular arts. It may well be that for rhapsodic declamation
  no individual inventor was known, and so Plato borrowed one from Homer. Aware
  of the mismatches and firm in his belief that it was Homer who actually invented the art of
  poerty (cf. Ar. Poet. 1448b34–7; 60a5–6), he subsequently hints that Phemius is a mere fiction,
  just as his own Ion is. It follows that the Phemius example serves to highlight the purely
  hypothetic nature of the aesthetic theory proposed in the Dialogue, and thus to disclaim any
  possible criticism.
