This notion responds to the ancient cosmological and ontological division of the world into two zones: sublunar and supralunar. In this context, the celestial Hades offers a transitional area, where the soul can divest itself from the traces left on it by its contact with the material world. The celestial Hades must thus be distinguished from the chthonian Hades presented by such authors as Homer and Hesiod. Unlike the chthonian Hades, the celestial Hades is mainly understood as an intermediary locus in Greek eschatological thought, a place of purification from which some souls depart for a higher level of existence while others are returned to earth. The project of the book stems from a common misunderstanding of the notion of the celestial Hades in current scholarship, especially in comparison with the Christian purgatory, which is the antechamber to Paradise. The author wishes to respond to medievalists such as Jacques LeGoff and specify that the celestial Hades of antiquity is not only an imaginary location, but it is also a product of ancient cosmological and eschatological notions. For this reason, the celestial Hades is presented here as a nexus of ancient thought combining philosophy, religion, psychology, and cosmology. The author makes a convincing case that the notion of a celestial Hades appears as early as Plato and Heraclides Ponticus and remains operative throughout antiquity (185). One of the major difficulties in making the argument is the diversity of the vocabulary used to designate the celestial Hades, which varies widely with such expressions as Ἅιδης ἐν οὐρανῷ, ἀφώτιστος ἀήρ, αἰθερία γῆ, and τόπος δαιμόνιος (see 43-44 for the complete list). Since all these expressions use different categorizations - whether physical, astral, or mythological - the demonstration takes the reader through an inquiry into the context of their use and shows that the concept behind them is the same or similar. Nevertheless, the author is careful to point out where an author or philosophical school differs from the others in their notion of a celestial Hades. Due to the nature of the sources, an approach that is both synchronic and diachronic was chosen. The diachronic approach helps the reader follow the evolution of ideas throughout the history of the concept, while the synchronic approach helps to stress the context in which a notion appears, especially in complex cases where our sources are citations of citations with added commentary by a third party. This is particularly useful in the case of the fragment of Heraclides Ponticus on the question of the celestial Hades, which is transmitted through Philoponus' commentary to Aristotle's Meteorologica , but was in fact excerpted from a treatise of Damascius, who originally cited Heraclides. The author treats this text at length, paying attention to the complexity of its history and transmission. The first part of the book is devoted to Plato's Academy and Stoicism, namely Heraclides, Xenocrates, and Philip of Opus. The second part analyzes the notion of a celestial Hades in Plutarch, Cicero, Virgil, and their neoplatonician interpreters, as well as in Hermetism and Gnosticism. Finally, the third part of the book deals with the Chaldean Oracles and Proclus. The first appendix includes a series of ancient testimonia about the celestial Hades while the second appendix offers the full text and translation of the passage of Philoponus' In Meteorologica which cites the fragment of Heraclides on the celestial Hades. The bibliography is extensive, up to date, and helpfully divided into sub- topics. The arrangement of the book whereby each philosopher or school is treated in turn is advantageous because it allows for a detailed account of the system of thought that each uses. However, this approach entails long preliminary discussions in each chapter or section which can distract from the overall argument of the book. A synthetic approach, or perhaps a concluding chapter dealing with the celestial Hades in a synthetic manner, would have been helpful in providing a global understanding of the question. Similarly, this reader appreciates that full- length quotations of the original texts are given inline. However, especially in the case of difficult or obscure authors, paraphrases would have helped in getting to the essentials and focusing the argument. If necessary, the texts could have been collected in an appendix or on an accompanying website. Finally, quotations from ancient authors are occasionally accompanied by the texts in the original languages, but not always, an inconsistency that also distracts from the overall point. In general, the book would have benefited from a thorough round of editing for typos and grammar. This book will be of use to specialists of ancient thought, especially in the fields of philosophy and religion. It is laudable that the author chose the notion of the celestial Hades as a topic. The concept appears over and over in our sources, yet little reliable scholarship is available to explain the texts. I look forward to the second book by this author, for which this one is merely a prelude. The second book will deal with the nexus of thought between the pagan and the Christian purgatory, a problem that is often broached in this book but not dealt with at length..

  • The Roles of Solon in Plato's Dialogues
    The Roles of Solon in Plato’s Dialogues Dissertation Presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Samuel Ortencio Flores, M.A. Graduate Program in Greek and Latin The Ohio State University 2013 Dissertation Committee: Bruce Heiden, Advisor Anthony Kaldellis Richard Fletcher Greg Anderson Copyrighy by Samuel Ortencio Flores 2013 Abstract This dissertation is a study of Plato’s use and adaptation of an earlier model and tradition of wisdom based on the thought and legacy of the sixth-century archon, legislator, and poet Solon. Solon is cited and/or quoted thirty-four times in Plato’s dialogues, and alluded to many more times. My study shows that these references and allusions have deeper meaning when contextualized within the reception of Solon in the classical period. For Plato, Solon is a rhetorically powerful figure in advancing the relatively new practice of philosophy in Athens. While Solon himself did not adequately establish justice in the city, his legacy provided a model upon which Platonic philosophy could improve. Chapter One surveys the passing references to Solon in the dialogues as an introduction to my chapters on the dialogues in which Solon is a very prominent figure, Timaeus- Critias, Republic, and Laws. Chapter Two examines Critias’ use of his ancestor Solon to establish his own philosophic credentials. Chapter Three suggests that Socrates re- appropriates the aims and themes of Solon’s political poetry for Socratic philosophy. Chapter Four suggests that Solon provides a legislative model which Plato reconstructs in the Laws for the philosopher to supplant the role of legislator in Greek thought.

  • Proclus on the Elements and the Celestial Bodies
    PROCLUS ON THE ELEMENTS AND THE CELESTIAL BODIES PHYSICAL TH UGHT IN LATE NEOPLAT NISM Lucas Siorvanes A Thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy to the Dept. of History and Philosophy of Science, Science Faculty, University College London. Deuember 1986 - 2 - ABSTRACT Until recently, the period of Late Antiquity had been largely regarded as a sterile age of irrationality and of decline in science. This pioneering work, supported by first-hand study of primary sources, argues that this opinion is profoundly mistaken. It focuses in particular on Proclus, the head of the Platonic School at Athens in the 5th c. AD, and the chief spokesman for the ideas of the dominant school of thought of that time, Neoplatonism. Part I, divided into two Sections, is an introductory guide to Proclus' philosophical and cosmological system, its general principles and its graded ordering of the states of existence. Part II concentrates on his physical theories on the Elements and the celestial bodies, in Sections A and B respectively, with chapters (or sub-sections) on topics including the structure, properties and motion of the Elements; light; space and matter; the composition and motion of the celestial bodies; and the order of planets. The picture that emerges from the study is that much of the Aristotelian physics, so prevalent in Classical Antiquity, was rejected. The concepts which were developed instead included the geometrization of matter, the four-Element composition of the universe, that of self-generated, free motion in space for the heavenly bodies, and that of immanent force or power.

  • Plato As "Architectof Science"
    Plato as "Architectof Science" LEONID ZHMUD ABSTRACT The figureof the cordialhost of the Academy,who invitedthe mostgifted math- ematiciansand cultivatedpure research, whose keen intellectwas able if not to solve the particularproblem then at least to show the methodfor its solution: this figureis quite familiarto studentsof Greekscience. But was the Academy as such a centerof scientificresearch, and did Plato really set for mathemati- cians and astronomersthe problemsthey shouldstudy and methodsthey should use? Oursources tell aboutPlato's friendship or at leastacquaintance with many brilliantmathematicians of his day (Theodorus,Archytas, Theaetetus), but they were neverhis pupils,rather vice versa- he learnedmuch from them and actively used this knowledgein developinghis philosophy.There is no reliableevidence that Eudoxus,Menaechmus, Dinostratus, Theudius, and others, whom many scholarsunite into the groupof so-called"Academic mathematicians," ever were his pupilsor close associates.Our analysis of therelevant passages (Eratosthenes' Platonicus, Sosigenes ap. Simplicius, Proclus' Catalogue of geometers, and Philodemus'History of the Academy,etc.) shows thatthe very tendencyof por- trayingPlato as the architectof sciencegoes back to the earlyAcademy and is bornout of interpretationsof his dialogues. I Plato's relationship to the exact sciences used to be one of the traditional problems in the history of ancient Greek science and philosophy.' From the nineteenth century on it was examined in various aspects, the most significant of which were the historical, philosophical and methodological. In the last century and at the beginning of this century attention was paid peredominantly, although not exclusively, to the first of these aspects, especially to the questions how great Plato's contribution to specific math- ematical research really was, and how reliable our sources are in ascrib- ing to him particular scientific discoveries.

  • May Plato's Academy Be Considered As the First Academic Institution?

Zhulduz Amangelidyevna Seitkasimova M. Auezov South Kazakhstan State University, KAZAKHSTAN Faculty of Pedagogy and Culture, Shymkent Received 8 November 2019 ▪ Revised 17 December 2019 ▪ Accepted 23 December 2019 Abstract Plato’s Academy is undoubtedly the first higher education institution in history, and in ancient Athens itself represents the most important educational institution. It constituted in the context of the universal development that took place in ancient Athens, in the 5th and 4th century BC, and it continued to work until the Byzantine Emperor Justinian forbade the work of all schools of philosophy (529 AD). This development, which is part of the so-called Golden Age of ancient Athens, represents the period of Greek history in which the foundations of Western civilization originated, as we know it today. Plato appears as one of the greatest philosophers of ancient Greece, along with Socrates and Aristotle, to the first of whom appears as a student and to the second as a teacher. Philosophy in the true sense of the word was created in Plato’s era in ancient Athens (Russell, 1975), and Plato’s Academy, in which he, along with his students, talked about various philosophical topics through the Garden of Akademos, was the impetus for this development. There are also opinions that the development of philosophy after Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle is only of reproductive character when it comes to the basics of philosophy.

Thomas Bénatouïl’s Pythagore chez Dicéarque: anectodes biographiques et critique de la philosophie contemplative (p. 11-36) proposes an inversion of the traditional interpretation regarding the testimony of Dicaearchus of Messana about the life of Pythagoras. Since antiquity, Dicaearchus’ reports tend to be seen as positive, because they present a Pythagoras devoid of mysticism and apparently more interested in practical matters.

  • A Reading of Porphyry's on Abstinence From
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Justice Purity Piety: A Reading of Porphyry’s On Abstinence from Ensouled Beings A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Classics by Alexander Press 2020 © Copyright by Alexander Press 2020 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Justice Purity Piety: A Reading of Porphyry’s On Abstinence from Ensouled Beings by Alexander Press Doctor of Philosophy in Classics University of California, Los Angeles, 2020 Professor David Blank, Chair Abstract: Presenting a range of arguments against meat-eating, many strikingly familiar, Porphyry’s On Abstinence from Ensouled Beings (Greek Περὶ ἀποχῆς ἐµψύχων, Latin De abstinentia ab esu animalium) offers a sweeping view of the ancient debate concerning animals and their treatment. At the same time, because of its advocacy of an asceticism informed by its author’s Neoplatonism, Abstinence is often taken to be concerned primarily with the health of the human soul. By approaching Abstinence as a work of moral suasion and a work of literature, whose intra- and intertextual resonances yield something more than a collection of propositions or an invitation to Quellenforschung, I aim to push beyond interpretations that bracket the arguments regarding animals as merely dialectical; cast the text’s other-directed principle of justice as wholly ii subordinated to a self-directed principle of purity; or accept as decisive Porphyry’s exclusion of craftsmen, athletes, soldiers, sailors, and orators from his call to vegetarianism.

  • Download Date | 6/9/19 10:06 AM Pseudo-Pythagorean Literature 73
    Philologus 2019; 163(1): 72–94 Leonid Zhmud* What is Pythagorean in the Pseudo-Pythagorean Literature? https://doi.org/10.1515/phil-2018-0003 Abstract: This paper discusses continuity between ancient Pythagoreanism and the pseudo-Pythagorean writings, which began to appear after the end of the Pythagorean school ca. 350 BC. Relying on a combination of temporal, formal and substantial criteria, I divide Pseudopythagorica into three categories: 1) early Hellenistic writings (late fourth – late second centuries BC) ascribed to Pytha- goras and his family members; 2) philosophical treatises written mostly, yet not exclusively, in pseudo-Doric from the turn of the first century BC under the names of real or fictional Pythagoreans; 3) writings attributed to Pythagoras and his relatives that continued to appear in the late Hellenistic and Imperial periods. I will argue that all three categories of pseudepigrapha contain astonishingly little that is authentically Pythagorean. Keywords: Pythagoreanism, pseudo-Pythagorean writings, Platonism, Aristote- lianism Forgery has been widespread in time and place and varied in its goals and methods, and it can easily be confused with superficially similar activities. A. Grafton Note: An earlier version of this article was presented at the colloquium “Pseudopythagorica: stratégies du faire croire dans la philosophie antique” (Paris, 28 May 2015). I would like to thank Constantinos Macris (CNRS) for his kind invitation. The final version was written during my fellowship at the IAS of Durham University and presented at the B Club, Cambridge, in Mai 2016. I am grateful to Gábor Betegh for inviting me to give a talk and to the audience for the vivid discussion.

  • Aristotelian Elements in the Myth of Plutarch's De Facie
    CHAPTER EIGHT ARISTOTELIAN ELEMENTS IN THE MYTH OF PLUTARCH'S DE FACIE As the material dealt with in chapter 7 showed, recovery of the sources of Plutarch's myth in the De facie is a perilous undertaking. Like Plato, Plutarch is first and foremost a creative author of great literary talent who is quite capable of developing and using entirely new motifs in his writings to further his philosophical or literary aims. Where he does not expressly mention his sources, certainty about older authors which he may have used cannot be gained. At the same time it is to be assumed that Plutarch made repeated use of themes and stories found in the literature of his time, which he collected and studied assiduously. As far as Plato's work is concerned, this is borne out by almost every page of Plutarch's writings. Influence is likely in the case of other writers, but difficult to determine because their works have been lost. One thinks of such figures as Speusippus, Xenocrates, Heraclides Ponticus, and Stoics like Posidonius. Matters are even more complicated as far as Aristotle is concerned. Although passages in Plutarch's writings often recall texts from the Corpus Aristotelicum, it cannot be established conclusively that Plutarch drew on them. F. H. Sandbach, on the other hand, has argued strongly that Plutarch had no knowledge of the Corpus and was only acquainted with Aristotle's published work, now lost.1 Where Plutarch does not name his source, however, it is difficult to ascertain what he derived from these published works.

  • Women in Early Pythagoreanism
    Women in Early Pythagoreanism Caterina Pellò Faculty of Classics University of Cambridge Clare Hall February 2018 This dissertation is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Alla nonna Ninni, che mi ha insegnato a leggere e scrivere Abstract Women in Early Pythagoreanism Caterina Pellò The sixth-century-BCE Pythagorean communities included both male and female members. This thesis focuses on the Pythagorean women and aims to explore what reasons lie behind the prominence of women in Pythagoreanism and what roles women played in early Pythagorean societies and thought. In the first chapter, I analyse the social conditions of women in Southern Italy, where the first Pythagorean communities were founded. In the second chapter, I compare Pythagorean societies with ancient Greek political clubs and religious sects. Compared to mainland Greece, South Italian women enjoyed higher legal and socio-political status. Similarly, religious groups included female initiates, assigning them authoritative roles. Consequently, the fact that the Pythagoreans founded their communities in Croton and further afield, and that in some respects these communities resembled ancient sects helps to explain why they opened their doors to the female gender to begin with. The third chapter discusses Pythagoras’ teachings to and about women. Pythagorean doctrines did not exclusively affect the followers’ way of thinking and public activities, but also their private way of living. Thus, they also regulated key aspects of the female everyday life, such as marriage and motherhood. I argue that the Pythagorean women entered the communities as wives, mothers and daughters. Nonetheless, some of them were able to gain authority over their fellow Pythagoreans and engage in intellectual activities, thus overcoming the female traditional domestic roles.
