CORDERO, Néstor-Luis. According to Plato, the "Mortals" of Parmenides, are the Ancestors of the Sophists?. Eidos [online]. 2021, n.36, pp.395-417.  Epub 14-Mayo-2022. ISSN 1692-8857.  https://doi.org/10.14482/eidos.36.184.01.

Why, when Plato wants to justify his definition of the sophist as an "image maker"(Sopfest, 236c), he quotes two authentic verses of Parmenides (fr. 7.1-2) that undoubtedly allude to the path taken by the "mortals who know nothing" (fr. 6.4)? Does he want to suggest that these "mortals", who are actually "opinions (doxaí) makers" are ancestors of the sophists, who are "image makers"?

Palabras clave : Plato; Sophists; Antisthenes; Parmenides; appearance; dóxa.
