All disciplines can count on a noble founder, and the representation of this founder as an authority is key in order to construe a discipline's identity. This book sheds light on how Plato and other authorities were represented in one of the most long-lasting traditions of all time. It leads the reader through exegesis and polemics, recovery of the past and construction of a philosophical identity. From Xenocrates to Proclus, from the sceptical shift to the re-establishment of dogmatism, from the Mosaic of the Philosophers to the Neoplatonist Commentaries, the construction of authority emerges as a way of access to the core of the Platonist tradition.

Most of the writings of the physician Soranos of Ephesos (c. AD 100-140) are lost. They covered the entire field of contemporary medicine, throwing light on his philosophical thought and broad historical interest. In this volume the testimonies from various sources for his work Peri psyches are collected. They reveal Soranos to have been a prominent proponent of Hellenistic theories of the soul, which were based on materialism in general and the soul's physicality.
