dc.description.abstract
The aim of this paper is to analyze the tale of Heracles at the Crossroads,
attributed to Prodicus by Socrates in Xenophon’s Memorabilia, through
the notion of antilogy. The apologue has got an antilogic structure that
is immediately outlined in the description of the situation in which the
young Heracles finds himself. But the text, seemingly antilogic, does
not develop itself according to one of the most important rules of antilogies,
i.e., the epistemic parity of two speeches, since it appears to be
completely in favor of just one of the theses. Prodicus would have had
no interest in writing a text that did not demonstrate his rhetorical and
linguistic abilities. According to this perspective, Xenophon’s version
of Heracles at the Crossroads does not seem to be the original version by
Prodicus, as can be seen by analyzing its structure and properties
