Summary
The sixth chapter examines, against this background, the claims to biographical possibilities as a key to modern scholarship itself, such as were raised by Wilamowitz in his works on Plato, Plutarch, Greek lyric, tragedy, and Pindar. By juxtaposing Nietzsche’s own work on ancient biography, I allow the similarities of the concerns raised, rather than the difference in answers, to come to the fore.
