   Extractions: Proclus 's father, Particius, and his mother, Marcella, were citizens of high social position in Lycia. Particius was a senior law official in the courts at Byzantium. Proclus was brought up at Xanthus, on the south coast of Lycia, where he attended school. It was intended that Proclus should follow his father and enter the legal profession. With this aim in mind he was sent to Alexandria but, while in the middle of his studies, he visited Byzantium and he became convinced that his calling in life was the study of philosophy. He returned to Alexandria where now he studied philosophy under Olympiodorus the Elder, in particular making a deep study of the works of Aristotle . He also learnt mathematics in Alexandria and in this subject his teacher was Heron (not the famous mathematician, Heron was a common name at this time). Proclus was not entirely satisfied with the education he was receiving in philosophy in Alexandria so, while still a teenager, he moved from Alexandria to Athens where he studied at

   Extractions: Proclus' life Proclus' Metaphysics Ploclus' theurgy The Knowable and the Unknowable Godhead ... Iamblichus Proclus Pseudo-Dionysius Later influences Proclus Diadochus (410/412 - 485 c.e.) was the last of the great Platonic teachers. Born in Constantinople into a well-off family, he was sent to Alexandria for schooling and was taught philosophy by the Aristotlean philosopher Olympiodorus the Elder, and mathematics by Heron (not to be confused with a more famous mathematician of the same name). It seemed he was not satisfied there, for w hile still a teenager he moved from Alexandria to Athens where he studied at Plato's Academy under the philosophers Plutarch and Syrianus. He was soon teaching at the Academy, and succeeded Syrianus as administrator of the Athenian School, eventually becoming director, a position he held for the rest of his life. The title Diadochus was given to him at this time, the meaning of the word being successor. As well as being a poet, philosopher, and scientist, Proclus was also an exponent of religious universalism. He believed the true philosopher should pay homage to the gods of all nations, becoming "a priest of the entire universe." He was initiated into a number of mystery schools, composed hymns to the gods, fasted in honor of the Egyptian divinities, practiced theurgy , and opposed Christianity with it's expectation of the end of the world. He was a

   Extractions: On the Signs of Divine Possession © Stephen Ronan, 1998 ON THE SIGNS OF DIVINE POSSESSION is my title for an extract from Proclus preserved in a work by the Byzantine Christian Neoplatonist, Michael Psellus, in his Accusation against Michael Cerularius before the Synod (Pros tên sunodon katêgoria tou archiros) ed. by É. des Places Oracles Chaldaiques Paris (Les Belles Lettres) 1971. This extract, brief though it is, gives crucial information on how the later Pagan tradition experienced and understood the phenomena of divine possession. It has obvious importance for studies on trance and possession, and for theurgy, that much-misunderstood ritual practice of late antiquity. But it is also relevant for the study of consecration and invocation in ritual, as well as mediums and mediumship in general, spiritualism, gossolalia, and states of trance in magical and healing contexts. I plan to discuss this text, and theurgy in general, in much more detail on these pages. Stay tuned! In the translation which follows, square brackets like this [ ] indicate editorial additions, which are there to clarify the meaning of the text.

He remained at the head of the Academy until his death. His philosophy was the neoplatonism of Plotinus, Porphyry and Iamblichus. Seven of his hymns have been preserved. His

Padua, Gratiosus Perchacinus, 1560 First edition in Latin and a very fresh copy of this handsome book; this is one of Proclus' most important writings. "A Venetian patrician, Barocius [Barozzi] received a humanistic education and achieved an admirable command of Greek and Latin. He studied at the University of Padua and according to his own account, lectured there about 1559 on the Sphere of Sacrobosco. Barocius' edition of Proclus' commentary on the first book of Euclid 's Elements was the first important translation of this work, for it was based on better manuscripts than previous efforts had been. The translation, published at Venice in 1560, was completed by Barocius at the age of twenty-two."D.S.B., I, p. 468.

    Extractions: It was Thales, who, after a visit to Egypt, first brought this study to Greece. Not only did he make numerous discoveries himself, but laid the foundation for many other discoveries on the part of his successors, attacking some problems with greater generality and others more empirically. After him Mamercus the brother of the poet Stesichorus, is said to have embraced the study of geometry, and in fact Hippias of Elis writes that he achieved fame in that study. Plato, who lived after Hippocrates and Theodorus, stimulated to a very high degree the study of mathematics and of geometry in particular because of his zealous interest in these subjects. For he filled his works with mathematical discussions, as is well known, and everywhere sought to awaken admiration for mathematics in students of philosophy.
