Starting from the theses expressed by Luciano Canfora in his recent volume on utopia in Aristophanes and Plato, this paper proposes a reflection on a metaphorical image – the politician sheperd of his people – that, already attested in homeric poetry, has been renewed by his peculiar purpose in a passage of Aristophanes’ Assemblywomen and in Plato’s first five Republic’s books, in conjunction with some crucial points of the development of the utopian concept of his Kallipolis.

Abstract
Starting from the theses expressed by Luciano Canfora in his recent volume on utopia in Aristophanes and Plato, this paper proposes a reflection on a metaphorical image – the politician sheperd of his people – that, already attested in homeric poetry, has been renewed by his peculiar purpose in a passage of Aristophanes’ Assemblywomen and in Plato’s first five Republic’s books, in conjunction with some crucial points of the development of the utopian concept of his Kallipolis.File in questo prodotto:
