The Use Of Physis In Fifth-Century Greek Literature is a book written by John Walter Beardslee Jr. and originally published in 1918. The book focuses on the concept of physis, which refers to the natural world or the inherent nature of things, and its role in the literature of ancient Greece during the fifth century BCE.Beardslee explores how physis was used by Greek writers such as Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides to express themes related to morality, justice, and the human condition. The author also examines how physis was used to represent the divine and the supernatural, as well as how it was used in the depiction of animals and non-human entities.Through his analysis, Beardslee argues that physis was a central concept in Greek literature during this period, and that it played a significant role in shaping the worldview of ancient Greeks.
