1 answer
Didactic poetry would be the best choice for someone who wants to learn about ancient philosophy as it provides direct teachings about ethical, moral, and philosophical concepts. It is often didactic poetry that contains lessons on how to lead a good life according to the ancient Greek and Roman philosophers. The other types of poetry may also contain philosophical ideas and themes, but they are not directly aimed at instructing the reader as didactic poetry is.
