Abstract
This lesson continues to identify references to nomos as the ordering willed by the gods. In Heraclitus of Ephesus (fr. 144 D-K6), we find an interesting comparison between the common foundation of the logoi , the logos (cf. fr. 2 D-K6), and the common foundation of the human nomoi, the divine nomos, of which it is said that " dominates as much as he wills, [that] he protects them all and prevails (over them) ". The fragmentary nature and obscurity of the Ephesian's work make it difficult to analyze and understand these assertions in detail. Moreover, Heraclitus clearly distances himself from his predecessors and their ways of describing the world, foremost among them Homer and Hesiod. However, he continues to express himself in a traditional language, and this work on tradition allows us (as in the case of Solon) to perceive shared representations, even if they are rethought and recomposed within a specific project. In this case, the articulation between divine and human norms resonates with what previous authors have revealed.
