%X Vico estava atento ¨¤s quest es que pairavam no ar da Rep¨²blica das Letras, particularmente ¨¤quelas postas pela Querela entre Antigos e Modernos, que vinha aquecendo muitos debates entre os doutos do in¨ªcio do s¨¦culo XVIII. De fato, ele dedicou seu engenho a solucionar a quest o hom¨¦rica da Querela. A sua solu  o era nova e rompia com Antigos e Modernos. Vico negou que a poesia hom¨¦rica era filos¨®fica ou fruto de uma reflex o refinada, mas afirmou ser excelente por seu vigor po¨¦tico e por constituir um tesouro do direito e da hist¨®ria dos povos primitivos. Vico took into account many issues that belonged to the Republic of Letters, especially those posited by the struggle between Ancients and Moderns, which raised several debates among learned men, in theearly Eighteenth Century. Employing his wit to solve the Homeric question, his solution was new and disrupted with both Ancients and Moderns. Vico denied that the Homeric poetry was philosophy or the result of some refined reflection. However, he claimed it was excellent for its poetic force and as a historical anthropological treasure.
