E. R. Dodds, whose classic study The Greek and the Irrational I have reread literally to pieces, distinguishes the psyche from the daimon, relying first on Empedocles and then on what is most mysterious in Socrates. The psyche is the empirical self or rational soul, while the divine daimon is an occult self or nonrational soul. From Hellenistic times through Goethe, the daimon has been the poet’s genius.

Reading a sublime poet, such as Pindar or Sappho, we experience something akin to authorship: “We come to believe we have created what we have only heard.”
