Part of the Ancient commentators on Aristotle series
See all formats and editions

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 first of two volumes of Hermias' commentary, the chapters translated here discuss the argument that the soul can be proved immortal as being the self-moving source of eternal motion.
