Om denne bog

This commentary records, through notes taken by Hermias, Syrianus'' seminar on Plato''s Phaedrus, one of the world''s most influential celebrations of erotic beauty and love. It is the only Neoplatonic commentary on Plato''s Phaedrus to have survived in its entirety. Further interest comes from the recorded interventions by Syrianus'' pupils - including those by Proclus, his eventual successor as head of the Athenian school, who went on to teach Hermias'' father, Ammonius.

The second of two volumes of Hermias'' commentary, the chapters translated here begin with a discussion of how the discarnate soul is visualised as a winged chariot team whose charioteer may gain some glimpse of beauty itself, which can explain subsequent erotic longing. This volume provides a translation is accompanied by explanatory notes, an introduction detailing the significance and context of the treatise and a scholarly apparatus including multiple indexes, glossaries and a bibliography.
