Julian: An Intellectual Biography, first published in 1981,
presents a penetrating and scholarly analysis of Julian's
intellectual development against the background of philosophy and
religion in the late Roman Empire. Professor Polymnia Athanassiadi
tells the story of Julian's transformation from a reclusive and
scholarly adolescent into a capable general and an audacious social
reformer. However, his character was fraught with a great many
contradictions, tensions and inconsistencies: he could be sensitive
and intelligent, but also uncontrollably spontaneous and subject to
alternating fits of considerable self-pity and self-delusion.
Athanassiadi traces the Emperor Julian's responses to personal and
public challenges, and dwells on the conflicts that each weighty
choice imposed on him. This analysis of Julian's character and of
all the issues that confronted him as an emperor, intellectual and
mystic is based largely on contemporary evidence, with particular
emphasis on the extensive writings of the man himself.
