Plato campaigned against oral poets
Khalil Gibran is commonplace using oral formulae
Parry's work parlayed into serbo-croation oral epic studies and more

Alphabet created 1500BC
Writing rationalized thought away from magical thinking
Created self-consciousness
Odysseus makes this leap in oddyssey
Oral states of consciousness are bizarre to literate mind
