Abstract
Although Parmenides’ doctrine of Being offers a reason for overcoming the difference between the human and the divine, structure of his poem lies in this difference. The author approaches the reasons for why Eleatic philosopher needed mythos and verses to express his insight that only Being is by coming close to the thesis that coherence of Parmenides’ poem has been preserved by the possibility that it was conceived as the highest expression of the tensions characterizing human existence. Any human can think identity of being as human and divine, but this thought he cannot make part of his world. The difference could continue to be overcome only by keeping silence about the divine as divine.
