Hermias d’Atarnée
No full textIn this short text, Professor Yves Roucaute recounts what is known about the 4th-century BC philosopher Hermias of Atarneus, born in Bithynia (now in Turkey), a disciple of Plato and a friend of Aristotle. He left Aristotle to assist Eubulus, who had taken power at Atarneus against the King of Persia, and later succeeded him. He welcomed Aristotle—who would marry his sister—when the latter fled Athens. Hermias was eventually assassinated on the orders of the King of Persia. A statue was erected in his honor at Delphi.Dans ce court texte, le Professeur Yves Roucaute rapporte ce que nous savons du philosophe du IVème siècle av. J.C.

Hermias: On Plato Phaedrus 227A–245E
No full textThis 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. Aristotle explicitly disagreed with Plato on this treatment of the soul and Syrianus, having previously (in a commentary on the Metaphysics) criticised Aristotle severely when he disagreed with Plato, feels obliged here, too, to address the apparent disagreement. This new translation is thus vital for understanding Syrianus' attitude to Aristotle.</p
Unwritten Doctrine of Pythagoras in Hermias of Alexandria
Get PDFIn Hermias’ commentary on Phaedrus (In Platonis Phaedrum Scholia), it is possible to identify several direct references to the philosophers and pre-Socratic doctrines, including Pythagoras. We point out to three references to Pythagoras in Hermias: (1) Pythagoras is characterized as an unwritten philosopher, (2) there is a special connection with the divinities and Muses, and (3) there is a special connection with the Phaedrus dialogue, revealed by the affinity between Pythagoras and Socrates. We show how the explicit references to Pythagoras in Hermias constitute a certain method of interpreting Platonism: as a philosophy manifested in writing, but which, at the same time, values the unwritten tradition, represented especially by Pythagoras and Socrates. We also demonstrate how the references translated and examined here reveal the image of this Neoplatonic Pythagoras of Hermias, an image which is not necessarily in tune with the oldest doxography, and which permits the reevaluation of Plato’s position as a philosopher who sought to combine unwritten doctrines with his explicit activity as a writer
The Neoplatonism of Hermias of Alexandria : a Study on the In Platonis Phaedrum Scholia
No full textNotre thèse porte sur les In Platonis Phaedrum Scholia d’Hermias d’Alexandrie, c’est-à-dire sur le seul commentaire ancien sur le Phèdre de Platon qui a survécu de l’Antiquité jusqu’à nous. Rédigé dans la première moitié du Ve siècle après J. C., ce commentaire se compose de trois livres. Nous avons étudié soigneusement le premier livre dont nous offrons la première traduction en langue italienne, accompagnée de notes critiques et commentaires. Notre travail se compose de trois parties. Dans la première partie de notre thèse, nous dressons un tableau précis du contexte à la fois historique et philosophique dans lequel se situe la figure d’Hermias d’Alexandrie, professeur de philosophie platonicienne à Alexandrie entre le 435 et le 455 après J. C. environ. Une attention toute particulière est accordée au problème de la véritable paternité du Commentaire, que la communis opinio attribue à Syrianos, maitre d’Hermias, plutôt qu’à Hermias lui-même. Nous essayons de remettre en cause cette thèse en soutenant, au contraire, qu’Hermias doit être considéré comme le véritable auteur du Commentaire. Dans la seconde partie de la thèse, nous offrons une véritable monographie sur la figure de Socrate chez Hermias, tout en proposant une comparaison entre Socrate et le Christ arien, Hermias et le Patriarche Cyrille d’Alexandrie. Après cette monographie, nous avons abordé d’autres questions ressortissantes de l’analyse du premier livre du Commentaire : rhétorique, herméneutique, mythologie, physique, gnoséologie. La troisième et dernière partie consiste dans la traduction en italien du premier livre du Commentaire sur le Phèdre, avec notes et commentaires.Our thesis deals with the In Platonis Phaedrum Scholia of Hermias of Alexandria, that is, the only ancient commentary on Plato’s Phaedrus that has survived from antiquity to our time. Written in the first half of the 5th century AD, this commentary consists of three books. We have carefully studied the first book of which we provide the first translation into Italian, accompanied by critical notes and comments. Our work consists of three parts. In the first part of our thesis, we provide a precise picture of the historical and philosophical context in which the figure of Hermias of Alexandria, professor of Platonic philosophy in Alexandria between 435 and 455 AD, is situated. Particular attention is paid to the problem of the true authorship of the Commentary, which the communis opinio attributes to Syrianus, master of Hermias, rather than to Hermias himself. We try to challenge this thesis by arguing, on the contrary, that Hermias must be seen as the real author of the Commentary. In the second part of the thesis, we offer an authentic monograph on the figure of Socrates in Hermias, enriched by a comparison between Socrates and the Arian Christ, Hermias and the Patriarch Cyril of Alexandria. After this monograph, we tackled other questions arising from the analysis of the first book of the Commentary: rhetoric, hermeneutics, mythology, physics, epistemology. The third and last part of our thesis consists of the translation into Italian of the first book of the Commentary on the Phaedrus, with notes and commentaries

Hermias de Alexandria In Platonis Phaedrum Scholia 164-167: dois mergulhos e uma pergunta
No full textHermias of Alexandria in Platonis Phaedrum Scholia 164,16 – 167,12 presents some certainties and some doubts about how to interpret the scale of souls found in Phaedrus 248c-d. Hermias is the oldest systematic commentator on this dialogue (5th century AD), but the two interpretative solutions he presents, despite adding interesting elements, do not include a full or definitive explanation of the passage. Hermias presents two possible interpretations, each according to different parameters and how, at the end of this journey, he calls into question how Plato harmonized, or put into symphony, the nine levels of lives presented in the scale. We will also present the complete translation of the studied excerpt.Hermias de Alexandria em Platonis Phaedrum Scholia 164,16 – 167,12 apresenta algumas certezas e algumas dúvidas acerca de como interpretar a escala das almas encontradas no Fedro 248c-d. Hermias é o comentador sistemático mais antigo desse diálogo (séc. V. d.C.), mas as duas soluções interpretativas que ele apresenta, apesar de agregar elementos interessantes, não abarcam uma explicação plena nem definitiva do trecho. Hermias apresenta duas interpretações possíveis, cada uma delas de acordo com parâmetros distintos e como, ao cabo desse percurso, põe em dúvida como Platão harmonizava, ou punha em sinfonia, os nove níveis das vidas apresentadas na escala. Apresentaremos também a tradução completa do trecho estudado
Hermias: On Plato Phaedrus 257D-279C, with ‘Syrianus’: Introduction to Hermogenes On Styles
No full textThis third and final volume concludes Hermias' commentary on Plato's Phaedrus. Here, Plato delivers a celebrated critique of writing, and its relationship to orality. Hermias follows him, and adds a general account of good writing. In addition, this volume offers the first English translation of the brief Introduction to Hermogenes' On Styles, which manuscripts attribute-probably mistakenly-to Hermias' teacher Syrianus. Baltzly and Share discuss the Introduction's authorship and its relation to the genuine commentaries of Syrianus on the rhetorical treatises of Hermogenes. They illuminate the relationship between philosophy and rhetoric in the Neoplatonic schools, and provide a novel explanation of Neoplatonic commentaries as performances of Platonic literacy in ancient elite education. This translation offers novel evidence of interest for students of ancient philosophy, rhetorical education, and literature more broadly. It is accompanied by explanatory notes, an introduction, and scholarly apparatus, including indices, glossaries, and bibliography
