De Gruyter The Reception of Plato’s ›Phaedrus‹ from Antiquity to the Renaissance
Book SynopsisThis volume explores the tremendous influence of Plato’s Phaedrus on the philosophical, religious, scientific and literary discussions in the West. Ranging from Plato’s first readers, over the Church Fathers and the Platonic commentators, to Byzantine and Renaissance thinkers, the papers collected here introduce the reader to the first two millennia of the dialogue’s reception history. Thirteen contributions by both junior and established scholars study the engagement with the Phaedrus by such major figures as Aristotle, Galen, Origen, Clemens of Alexandria, Plotinus, Augustine, Proclus, Psellus, Ficino, Erasmus, and many others. Together, they cover the wide range of topics discussed in the dialogue: the value of myth and allegory, religion and theology, love and beauty, the soul and its immortality, teaching and learning, metaphysics and epistemology, rhetoric and dialectic, as well as the role and the limits of writing. By placing the dialogue in this broad perspective, the volume will appeal to readers interested in the Phaedrus itself, as well as to classicists, literary theorists, and historians of philosophy, science and religion concerned with the dialogue’s reception history and its main protagonists.

Brill Ancient Readings of Plato’s Phaedo
Book SynopsisPlato’s Phaedo has never failed to attract the attention of philosophers and scholars. Yet the history of its reception in Antiquity has been little studied. The present volume therefore proposes to examine not only the Platonic exegetical tradition surrounding this dialogue, which culminates in the commentaries of Damascius and Olympiodorus, but also its place in the reflections of the rival Peripatetic, Stoic, and Sceptical schools. This volume thus aims to shed light on the surviving commentaries and their sources, as well as on less familiar aspects of the history of the Phaedo’s ancient reception. By doing so, it may help to clarify what ancient interpreters of Plato can and cannot offer their contemporary counterparts.Trade Review"Just as it is impossible to do justice to every aspect of Phaedo’s influence in antiquity, it is also impossible to do justice to the rich array of insights on offer in this volume … a must have for any serious student of the dialogue." — Donka D. Markus, University of Michigan, in: The International Journal of the Platonic Tradition 11 (2017) "The ground covered is immense … the variety of approaches of the contributing authors, some writing in close focus others with a broader palette, has succeeded in producing important general conclusions that are always based on sound and detailed evidence. The volume’s usefulness is also enhanced by an extensive bibliography and three comprehensive indices: locorum, rerum and nominum." — Andrew Smith, University College Dublin, in: Journal of Hellenic Studies 137 (2017)Table of ContentsContents List of Contributors Introduction Sylvain Delcomminette, Pieter d’Hoine and Marc-Antoine Gavray Aristote et le Phédon Sylvain Delcomminette Strato of Lampsacus as a Reader of Plato’s Phaedo: His Critique of the Soul’s Immortality Han Baltussen Le Phédon dans le Stoïcisme hellénistique et post-hellénistique Francesca Alesse Sextus, the Number Two and the Phaedo Lorenzo Corti Plutarch’s Reception of Plato’s Phaedo Geert Roskam The Phaedo in Numenian Allegorical Interpretation Harold Tarrant Plotin lecteur du Phédon: l’âme et la vie en iv 7 [2] 11 Riccardo Chiaradonna Syrianus and the Phaedo Pieter d’Hoine Damascius, Olympiodore et Proclus sur les attributs «divin» (θεῖον) et «intelligible» (νοητόν) en Phédon 80a10–b1 dans l’argument dit «de la similitude» Alain Lernould From ‘Immortal’ to ‘Imperishable’: Damascius on the Final Argument in Plato’s Phaedo Sebastian Gertz La théorie de l’âme-harmonie chez les commentateurs anciens Franco Trabattoni «Nombreux sont les porteurs de thyrse, mais rares les Bacchants».
