In today's murky attempts to define art we see countless articles entitled Is this Art? or What is Art? Overlooked and forgotten is the definition of art simply provided by perhaps the founder of Western Civilization: Socrates. It is clearly stated in one of Plato's earliest Dialogues ION. In it, Socrates playfully questions an arrogant young actor, who claims all the credit for his achievement citing his skills. Socrates, instead, suggests that he is chosen as a channel (one of a chain of divine messengers) to deliver with force the message which came first to and through the poet (Homer), the first in the chain.
