Commentary

[ Hide commentary ]

This fragment provides us with very little information about Heraclitus. This note was in written in the margins of a text of Iliad 18.251. We can reasonably conclude that Heraclitus mentioned Homer in connection with the stars, but anything beyond that is mere speculation.
