"The History of Logos in Ancient Greek Philosophy has yet to be written. Its first chapter would probably deal with the "Prehistory of Logos", and the largest part of this chapter with Pamenides and this for iwo reasons: First, the indispensability of a Logos that pays attention to the whole range of legein and establishes the conditions of its truth is implicitly presentin the poem; for Parrnenides does recognize the inherent ambiguity of language, its ambivalent status and its ranging between the ontological affirmation of Being and the ontical denomination of beings (dokounta). Secondly, one might argue that an explicit development of the concept of Logos, of its character, its power and its endangerings could follow only as a response and reaction to paths of thought that depart from the Parmenidean poem - notably as a conformation with Zeno, the precursor of the Sophistic movement."
