Concerning the Gods and the Universe

Sallust
3.94/5 (17 ratings)
Read Now Download Now
The treatise On the Gods and the Cosmos, (Περὶ Θεῶν καὶ Κόσμου) is a kind of catechism of 4th-century Hellenic paganism. The work owes much to that of Iamblichus of Chalcis, who synthesized Platonism with Pythagoreanism and theurgy, and also to the Emperor Julian's philosophical writings. The treatise is quite concise, and generally free of the lengthy metaphysical theorizing of the more detailed Neoplatonic texts. Its aim is in part "to parry the usual onslaughts of Christian polemic" in the face of Christianity's growing preeminence, and "me[e]t theology with theology".
