Synopsis
Discover the essential writings of Porphyry in this comprehensive collection, featuring his influential treatises on ethics, metaphysics, and theology from a Neoplatonist perspective. This volume includes "On Abstinence From Animal Food" (Books I–IV), "The Explanation Of The Homeric Cave Of The Nymphs," and "The Auxiliaries To The Perception Of Intelligible Natures," along with an insightful appendix that elucidates the allegory of Ulysses’ wanderings. Translated by Thomas Taylor, this edition offers extensive notes and historical commentary, situating Porphyry within the Platonic tradition. Delve into the ascetic and ethical dimensions of philosophy, the sacredness of sacrifices, and the exploration of intellect, soul, and incorporeal realities, culminating in a mythopoetic interpretation of Homer’s Odyssey that reflects the soul’s journey toward true being.
