Abstract

This article provides an analysis of Friedrich Nietzsche's book Prefaces to Unwritten Works, in particular the text Homer's Contest. The book is based on his philological divergence from the translation of texts of the ancient Greeks and, as a result, is part of his philosophical conception. Based on this, the present study presents what Nietzsche called Agonic Education. The latter is a proposal for personal development that stems from the contest between individuals, which results in better collective conditions. In addition, this article draws a parallel with his later work Thus Spoke Zarathustra, especially the aphorism Three Metamorphoses, and presents the convergence of his writings.
