Figures like the philosopher Socrates did not produce written works, as he believed in oral tradition and dialogue as the primary means of conveying ideas. Instead, his thoughts were recorded by his students, like Plato, who became major figures in Ancient Greek literature. Additionally, many other influential thinkers focused on philosophy and science rather than poetry or narrative writing, leading to a greater emphasis on those genres. Therefore, while they were significant in intellectual history, they did not contribute to the literary canon in the same way as poets like Homer or Hesiod.
