Socrates, Plato & the Poets

"And so, again, I soon came to a realization about the poets, that it wasn’t through wisdom that they wrote what they did, but through some natural faculty, and that they were divinely inspired, just as prophets and oracles are; for they say many beautiful things, but have no idea what they’re talking about."
(Socrates' Apology)
