Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to present the poem of Parmenides, On Natured and the main idea is centered upon two basic notions, namely myth and logos. At the beginning, a brief overview of the foregoing ideas on myth and religious beliefs is made. Many authors are trying to emphasize the philosophical and logical side of the poem apart from mythology. In my opinion, these ideas are intermingled in the course of all fragments. Consequently, a close analysis of the poem of Parmenides will try to show the intimate relation between the mythical elements and the logical deduction of theses.
