For the celebrated historian, biographer, essayist, and Middle Platonist Plutarch platonism Plutarch of Athens ca. 350 ndash 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 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

lunar crater data latitude 24.1 N or S N longitude 79.0 E or W E diameter 68 km depth 2.8 km colong 282 eponym Plutarch Plutarch is a Moon lunar impact crater that lies near the north northeastern limb of the Moon , just to the south of the irregular crater Seneca crater Seneca . To the southeast is the flooded crater Cannon crater Cannon . The proximity of this crater to the limb causes it to appear foreshortened when viewed from the Earth , but it is actually a circular formation. This crater has a well defined rim edge that is only slightly eroded. A small crater intrudes slightly into the southwestern rim, and another small crater lies near the south southeastern rim. The inner wall is unusually wide in the southern half of the crater, with the narrowest section along the northern rim. There is some slumping and wiktionary terrace terrace s formed along the inner sides, and a notable central peak near the mid point of the interior floor. Satellite craters By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater mid point that is closest to Plutarch. class wikitable width 25 style background eeeeee Plutarch width 25 style background eeeeee Latitude width 25 style background eeeeee Longitude width 25 style background eeeeee Diameter align center C align center 23.1 N align center 71.0 E align center 11 km align center D align center 24.3 N align center 75.7 E align center 15 km align center F align center 23.5 N align center 73.5 E align center 12 km align center G align center 23.0 N align center 75.2 E align center 11 km align center H align center 24.4 N align center 72.7 E align center 11 km align center K align center 25.1 N align center 72.8 E align center 11 km align center L align center 25.8 N align center 71.6 E align center 8 km align center M align center 23.8 N align center 77.6 E align center 11 km align center N align center 23.8 N align center 77.1 E align center 12 km References Lunar crater referen ... more details

Cylon also spelled Kylon or Kulon from was an Athens Athenian associated with the first reliably dated event in Athenian history, the Cylonian affair . Cylon, one of the Athenian nobles and a previous victor of the Olympic Games , attempted a coup in 632 BC with support from Megara , where his father in law, Theagenes was tyrant . The oracle at Delphi had advised him to seize Athens during a festival of Zeus , which Cylon understood to mean the Olympics. However, the coup was opposed, and Cylon and his supporters took refuge in Athena s temple on the Acropolis, Athens Acropolis . Cylon and his brother escaped, but his followers were cornered by Athens s nine archon s. According to Plutarch and Thucydides 1.126 , they were persuaded by the archons to leave the temple and stand trial after being assured that their lives would be spared. In an effort to ensure their safety, the accused tied a rope to the temple s statue and went to the trial. On the way, the rope again, according to Plutarch broke of its own accord. The Athenian archons, led by Megacles , took this as the goddess s repudiation of her suppliants and proceeded to stone them to death on the other hand, Herodotus , 5.71, and Thucydides , 1.126, do not mention this aspect of the story, stating that Cylon s followers were simply killed after being convinced that they would not be harmed . Megacles and his genos , the Alcmaeonidae , were exiled from the city for violating the laws against killing suppliants. The Alcmaeonidae were cursed with a Miasma Greek mythology miasma stain or pollution , which was inherited by later generations, even after the genos retook control of Athens.

Cratippus Ancient Greek language Ancient Greek Polytonic fl. c. 375 BC , was a Greece Greek historian . There are only three or four references to him in ancient literature, and his importance derives from his being identified by several scholars e.g. Friedrich Blass Blass with the author of the historical fragment discovered by Grenfell and Hunt. The fragment itself was published in Oxyrhyncus Oxyrhynchus Papyri , vol. v, and is known as the Hellenica Oxyrhynchia . It may be regarded as a fairly certain inference from a passage in Plutarch lang la De Gloria Atheniensium , p. 345 E, ed. Bernardakis, ii. p. 455 that he was an Athens Athenian writer, intermediate in date between Thucydides and Xenophon , and that his work continued the narrative of Thucydides, from the point at which the latter historian stopped 410 BC down to the Battle of Cnidus .

For other persons named Lamia, see Lamia Lamia of Athens was a celebrated courtesan, daughter of Cleanor . She commenced her career as a flute player on the stage, in which profession she attained considerable celebrity, but afterwards abandoned it for that of a hetaera . We know not by what accident she found herself on board of the fleet of Ptolemy I at the naval battle of Salamis in Cyprus 306 BC , but it was on that occasion that she fell into the hands of the young Demetrius Poliorcetes , over whom she quickly obtained the most unbounded influence. Though then already past her prime, she so completely captivated the young prince, that her sway continued unbroken for many years, notwithstanding the numerous rivals with whom she had to contend. It was apparently not so much to her beauty as to her wit and talents that she owed her power the latter were celebrated by the comic writers as well as the historians of the period, and many anecdotes concerning her have been transmitted to us by Plutarch and Athenaeus . Like most persons of her class, she was noted for her profusion, and the magnificence of the banquets which she gave to Demetrius was celebrated even in those times of wanton extravagance. In one instance, however, she is recorded to have made a better use of the treasures which were lavished upon her by her lover with almost incredible profusion, and built a splendid portico for the citizens of Sicyon , probably at the period when their city was in great measure rebuilt by Demetrius. Among the various flatteries invented by the Athenians to please Demetrius was that of consecrating a temple in honour of Lamia, under the title of Aphrodite , and their example was followed by the Thebans. According to Athenaeus, she had a daughter by Demetrius, who received the name of Phila . Diogenes Laertius v. 76 mentions that Demetrius Phalereus also cohabited with a woman named Lamia, whom he calls an Athenian of noble birth. If this story be not altogether a mistake ... more details
