This 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 second of two volumes of Hermias' commentary, the
chapters translated here begin with a discussion of how the
discarnate soul is visualised as a winged chariot team whose
charioteer may gain some glimpse of beauty itself, which can
explain subsequent erotic longing. This volume provides a
translation is accompanied by explanatory notes, an introduction
detailing the significance and context of the treatise and a
scholarly apparatus including multiple indexes, glossaries and a
bibliography.
