Exploring the origins of literary criticism, the author argues that its foundations lie in the social commentary surrounding early performances of poetry and songs in ancient Greece, predating the sophists. By tracing the evolution of criticism, the work reveals how poetry became a studied discipline with defined principles and methods later in the Greek tradition than commonly believed. This perspective challenges conventional notions and highlights the interplay between social context and the development of literary analysis.
