sdi: Digital image of the zodiac superimposed on a color wheel. (astrology)
[personal profile] sdi


A much under-appreciated essay, I think, is Porphyry on the Cave of the Nymphs in the Thirteenth Book of the Odyssey, where he ties together many loose threads of ancient thought concerning myth, cosmology, and the descent and reascent of the soul. I transcribed it almost a year ago, when I first read it, but never got around to proofreading it; I've been very sick this last week and so I took the time to do so. (I'm pretty addled, though, so please let me know if you see any errors!)

As always, it is in the public domain and you can find the PDF in US Letter and A4 paper sizes.
