Collection of allegories in 79 chapters. Heraclitus, following the order of the verses in Homeric epics, applies natural, ethical, and historical interpretation to a wide range of subjects (history, astronomy, physics, ethics, cosmogony, etc.), praising Homer and countering his critics, especially Plato and Epicurus.
Significant for the interpretations of myths and for the wealth of information it contains, the work of Heraclitus extols the great epic poet, presenting him as a true initiate and also as a substantive proponent of many philosophical and scientific doctrines.
The philosopher Heraclitus (a different individual from his namesake of Ephesus) likely lived during the time of Augustus or Nero. There is very little information about his life.
