This paper examines the significance of notions like memory, truth and imagination in the countercurrent of the parmenidean tradition, which, from the Greek rationalism till modern, excludes the poet from the polis as an expiatory victim. From the master of Truth in ancient Greece to the cognoscent Subject, the fracture between reason and imagination, truth and fiction, is instituted. Therefore, memory is the expression of the liberty of imagination, which opposes, to the verdict of the fait accompli, the new possibilities of History.
