Proclus
Proclus Neoplatonist Philosopher ( February 8 April 17 Born to a rich family in Constantinople , he studied rhetoric, philosophy and mathematics in Alexandria of Egypt. He came back to Constantinopole and was a successful lawyer for a short time. However as he preferred philosophy, he went to Athens in to study at the famous School of Philosophy which was founded 800 years before by Plato . He lived in Athens until the end of his life, except for a one year exile due to his political-philosophical activity which was not tolerated by the Christian regime. He became head master of Athens' School of Philosophy. His work can be divided in two parts. In the first part are his Memorandi on Plato's works, the first written when he was 28 years old: The Memorandum on Timaeus, on Plato's Republic, on Plato's Alcibiades , on Plato's Parmenides and on Plato's Cratylus. In these works, Proclus analyzes and restates Plato's thought - much misinterpreted and distorted at the time. The second part is theological: Theologia Platonica, Chrestomatheia, Hymni, Epigrammata

That they hold Ananke to be identical to Themis, it is certified no only by the Greek Theogonies, bit also according to the Persian initiation rites of Mithra, in which all invocations of Themis, at the beginning, the middle, and end of the initiation, join Themis Ananke, pronouncing specifically "Themis and Ananke" and this in all the prayers.

The barbarians [Mithraists] call this life-giving source the well of life, the hollow receptacle suggesting together with the quality of a well the virtue of the whole life-giving godhead, wherein are contained the springs of all life, angelic, demoniac, psychical and physical. If the one is spring-like, so also is the other. What then are we to say? The barbarians give to bowls the name of wells, and so they denote individual souls. This bowl therefore is a bowl of living water; for it is the source of souls, wherein souls...

(Alphabetically) Next Welcome page Proclus was brought up at Xanthus in Lycia. He later studied philosophy under Olympiodorus the Elder at Alexandria. He then went to Athens where he studied under the philosophers Plutarch and Syrianus. Proclus became head of Plato 's Academy in Athens and remained there until his death. He wrote Commentary on Euclid which is our principal source about the early history of Greek geometry. Proclus had access to books which are now lost and others, already lost in Proclus's time, were reported on based on extracts in other books available to Proclus. He wrote Hypotyposis, an introduction to the astronomical theories of Hipparchus and Ptolemy . He described how the water clock invented by Heron could be used to measure the apparent diameter of the Sun. Proclus's method is to be used at the equinox. Water is collected from the clock in a container while the sun rises. As soon as the Sun has risen the water is collected in another container and this measurement continues until sunrise the following day. Then the ratio of the weights of water in the two containers gives the apparent diameter of the Sun. Proclus combined his geometrical skills and his knowledge of astronomy to give a geometrical proof that the epicycle theory for planets is equivalent to the eccentric theory. In the epicycle theory the Earth is in the centre of a circle which has smaller circles rotating round its circumference. In the eccentric theory the planet moves round a circle whose centre is does not coincide with the Earth. Again Proclus is proving results first given by

GREEK COMMENTATORS ON THE ELEMENTS OTHER THAN PROCLUS.
That there was no lack of commentaries on the Elements before the time of Proclus is evident from the terms in which Proclus refers to them; and he leaves us in equally little doubt as to the value which, in his opinion, the generality of them possessed. Thus he says in one place (at the end of his second prologue) “Before making a beginning with the investigation of details, I warn those who may read me not to expect from me the things which have been dinned into our ears

PROCLUS AND HIS SOURCES
It is well known that the commentary of Proclus on Eucl. Book I. is one of the two main sources of information as to the history of Greek geometry which we possess, the other being the Collection of Pappus. They are the more precious because the original works of the forerunners of Euclid, Archimedes and Apollonius are lost, having probably been discarded and forgotten almost immediately after the appearance of the masterpieces of that great trio. Proclus himself lived 410-485 A.D., so that there had already passed a sufficient amount of time for the tradition relating to the pre-Euclidean geometers to become obscure and defective. In this connexion a passage is quoted from Simplicius

[64A to 79B] The divine Iamblichus however, does not think that a history of this kind pertains to what is here proposed to be considered. For Plato is not now speaking about atheistical men, but about such as are wise, and able to converse with the Gods. Nor does he speak of such as are dubious about the works of piety; but to such as wish to be saved by those who are the saviours of wholes, he delivers the power of prayer, and its admirable and supernatural perfection which transcends all expectation. But to this conversion prayer is of the greatest utility. For it attracts to itself the beneficence of the Gods, through those ineffable symbols which the father of souls has disseminated in them. It likewise unites those who pray with those to whom prayer is addressed; conjoins the intellect of the Gods with the words of those who pray; excites the will of those who perfectly comprehend good to the abundant communication of it; is the fabricator of divine persuasion; and establishes in the Gods all that we possess. Tim. "But, O Socrates, all such as participate but in the least degree of temperance, [i.e. wisdom] in the impulse to every undertaking, whether small or great, always invoke divinity."

PROCESSION PATHPROCLUS were prescribed. The Puritans, who aimed at setting up the Genevan model, objected; and the visitation articles of the bishops in Charles I.'s time make frequent inquisition England. *nto tne negject f the clergy to obey the law in this matter. With " the profane, ungodly, presumptuous multitude " (to quote Baxter's Saint's Rest, 1650, pp. 344, 345), however, these " processions and perambulations " appear to have been very popular, though " only the traditions of their fathers." However this may be, the Commonwealth made an end of them, and they seem never to have been revived; Sparrow, in his Rationale upon the Book of Common Prayer (London, 1668), speaks of "the service formerly appointed in the Rogation days of Procession." Among the processions that survived the Reformation in the English Church was that of the sovereign and the Knights of the Garter on St George's day. This was until Charles II.'s time a regular rogation, the choristers in surplices, the gentlemen of the royal chapel in copes, and the canons and other clergy in copes preceding the knights and singing the litany. In 1661, after the Restoration, by order of the sovereign and knights companions in chapter " that supplicational procession " was " converted into a hymn of thanksgiving." Akin to this procession also are the others connected with royal functions; coronations, funerals. These retained, and retain, many pre-Reformation features elsewhere fallen obsolete. Thus at the funeral of George II. (1760) the body was received at the door of the Abbey by the dean and prebendaries in their copes, attended by the choir, all carrying lighted tapers, who preceded it up the church, singing.

PROCLUS 16.1 N by 46.8 E LUNAR TRANSIENT PHENOMENA HISTORY BY DAVID O. DARLING "A brilliant crater west of Mare Crisium, 18 miles in diameter and 8000 feet deep. Proclus is one of the brightest points on the Moon, and is the centre of a ray-system; there is a low central mountain. The rays cross Mare Crisium, but not the Palus Somnii, which is bounded by rays to either side. There are both bright and dusky bands on the inner walls of Proclus." New Guide to the Moon 1976. By Patrick Moore. Clementine image, NASA The crater Proclus has a very interesting history when looking at the historic L.T.P. record. When looking at the most active days during the lunation three days stand out. They are eight, ten and fifteen day old Moon. My own experience with this crater is observing a strange electric arc blue color during a lunar eclipse and an extreme darkening event inside the crater. Also changes in albedo have been documented during extended monitoring of this crater. It was also mentioned in one of my many books on the Moon that in the early days of Selenology, observers reported that Proclus was a dark feature, not what it is today being one of the brightest on the Moon. The brightness of this crater can rival that of Aristarchus. Graph © by David O. Darling, Director L.T.P. Research.

The emergence of an increasingly powerful hierarchy in the expanding Christian movement threatened the political, social and philosophical foundations of the ancient Mediterranean world. During the second, third and fourth centuries of this era, church hierarchy came to justify itself as a theocracy without universal or equal access to the Divine. The attendant doctrine of salvation supported the subordination of women in society and their exclusion from religious office, where once they had been the backbone of Roman civil institutions and guardians of its collective religious life. The Graeco-Roman philosophical traditions, which advocated freedom of thought on the basis of the equality of human beings as seekers of divine wisdom, felt the growing pressure of dogmatism based upon the assumed identity of the ecclesiastical structure with a spiritual hierarchy. The neo-Platonic movement founded by Ammonius Saccas, clearly articulated by Plotinus and disseminated by Porphyry, was tied to an understanding of the theurgic significance of classical myths and ceremonies and of the universal truths of the Mysteries. The emperor Julian attempted to refound the theology implied by the Mysteries, but his death in A.D. 363 after only three years' reign marked the end of all such attempts. Nevertheless, the Platonic Academies of Athens and Alexandria were inspired to new heights of philosophical activity by the neo-Platonists.
