The Commentary of Hierocles on the Golden Verses of Pythagoras - Paperback

by Andre Dacier (Author), N. Rowe (Translator)

The Golden Verses are exhortations to live a moral, simple and contemplative life. These pithy aphorisms allow a glimpse of a bit of the Pythagorean schools' deeper knowledge. The present volume was published to provide students of philosophy who value the Golden Verses and are seeking to understand and learn from them. Rowe's translation of the Golden Verses is from the Greek and the Commentary is from the French of Andre Dacier.
