Plutarch in Greek language Greek lived 4th century BC was a tyrant of Eretria in Euboea . Whether he was the immediate successor of Themison of Eretria Themison , and also whether he was in any way connected with him by blood, are points which we have no means of ascertaining. Trusting perhaps to the influence of his friend Meidias , he applied to the Athens Athenians in 354 BC for aid against his rival, Callias of Chalcis , who had allied himself with Philip II of Macedon Philip of Macedon . The application was granted in spite of the resistance of Demosthenes , and the command of the expedition was entrusted to Phocion , who defeated Callias at Tamynae in 350 BC . But the conduct of Plutarch in the battle had placed the Athenians in great jeopardy, and though it may have been nothing more than rashness, Phocion would seem to have regarded it as treachery, for he thenceforth treated Plutarch as an enemy and expelled him from Eretria. r dem1 dem2 3 dem3 aesc plut 12 13 paus 1.36 References William Smith lexicographer Smith, William editor Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology , http www.ancientlibrary.com smith bio 2761.html Plutarchus , Boston , 1867 Notes reflist refs ref name dem1 dem2 3 dem3 aesc plut 12 13 paus 1.36 Demosthenes, Speeches , On the Peace , http www.perseus.tufts.edu cgi bin ptext?lookup Dem. 5 5 5 , Philippic 3 , http www.perseus.tufts.edu cgi bin ptext?lookup Dem. 9 57 57 , Against Meidias , http www.perseus.tufts.edu cgi bin ptext?lookup Dem. 21 110 110 , http www.perseus.tufts.edu cgi bin ptext?lookup Dem. 21 200 200 Aeschines , Speeches , Against Ctesiphon , http www.perseus.tufts.edu cgi bin ptext?lookup Aeschin. 3 86 86 Plutarch , Parallel Lives , Phocion , http www.attalus.org old phocion1.html 12 12 , http www.attalus.org ... cgi bin ptext?lookup Paus. 1.36.1 i. 36 ref SmithDGRBM DEFAULTSORT Plutarch Of Eretria Category Ancient Greek rulers Category Ancient Eretrians Category 4th century BC Greek people de Plutarch ... more details
For the celebrated historian, biographer, essayist, and Middle Platonist Plutarch platonism Plutarch of Athens ca. 350 430 AD was a Greek philosopher and Neoplatonist who taught at Athens at the beginning of the 5th century. He reestablished the Platonic Academy there and became its leader. He wrote commentaries on Aristotle and Plato , emphasizing the doctrines which they had in common. Life He was the son of Nestorius and father of Hierius and Asclepigenia , who were his colleagues in the school. The origin of Neoplatonism in Athens is not known, but Plutarch is generally seen as the person who reestablished Platonic Academy Plato s Academy in its Neoplatonist form. Plutarch and his followers the Platonic Succession claimed to be the disciples of Iamblichus , and through him of Porphyry philosopher Porphyry and Plotinus . Numbered among his disciples were Syrianus , who succeeded him as head of the school, and Proclus . Philosophy Plutarch s main principle was that the study of Aristotle must precede that of Plato , and that the student should be taught to realize primarily the fundamental points of agreement between them. With this object he wrote a commentary on Aristotle s On the Soul De Anima which was the most important contribution to Aristotelian literature since the time of Alexander of Aphrodisias and a commentary on the Timaeus of Plato. His example was followed by Syrianus and others of the school. This critical spirit reached its greatest height in Proclus, the ablest exponent of this latter day syncretism. Plutarch was versed in all the theurgy theurgic traditions of the school, and believed, along with Iamblichus , in the possibility of attaining to communion .... 1911 Platonists Persondata name Plutarch of Athens alternative names short description date ...
