	JewishEncyclopedia.com - ALLEGORICAL INTERPRETATION:
		But the extremists on both sides, allegorists as well as anti-allegorists, were in the minority; for most teachers held steadfastly to the ancestral faith as far as actual practise was concerned, and endeavored only theoretically to harmonize Judaism with the Hellenic philosophy by means of allegory.
		The fundamental proposition of these allegorists was then formulated, to the effect that all the narrative portions of Scripture, and especially those from the initial verse of Genesis down to Ex.
		He, too, must be made responsible for the gross exaggerations of Christian allegorists lasting down to modern times; Hilary, Ambrose, Jerome, and Augustine all borrowed their allegorizing method from Origen, who likewise originated the doctrine of the threefold meaning of Scripture, the literal, moral, and mystical ("De Principiis," iv.

		These allegorists claimed that the literal was for the immature.
		The Christian and Patristic Allegorists believed that the Old Testament was a Christian document but considered it to be full of parables, enigmas, and riddles.
		This is the "safest" route to pursue but as one studies the richness of Scripture it becomes apparent that not everything must be specifically declared to be a type for it to exist.

		The style and the method of composition are, in the highest degree, worthy of note.
		The author, it will be observed, sets forth his views, not, after the ordinary fashion of allegorists, by bringing together his personifications and using them as mere mouthpieces, but by involving them in a rapidly moving series of interesting situations, skilfully devised to cause each to act and speak in a thoroughly characteristic manner.
		They do not seem to be puppets, moving and speaking as the showman pulls the strings, but persons, endowed each with his own life and moved by the impulses of his own will.

		Though the interest in pursuing nonnormative meanings reached new heights in the medieval period, important precedents for it were to be found in the world of Late Antiquity.
		If the allegorist is too successful at showing the ahistorical aspect of the scriptural record, then could not the Bible appear as an unfaithful witness of the historical acts of revelation?
		For when he wrote against the Christian Scriptures, he made ample use of the allegorists’ own arguments about the historical credibility of the Bible.

	Classics 100: Odyssey(s) - Beloit College Classics
		The other Olympian gods come to laugh at the pair in their embarrassment; but Apollo and Hermes, in a conversation one might expect to overhear in a locker room sooner than on Mt. Olympus, admit to one another that the embarrassment would be a price worth paying for a night with Aphrodite.
		Their concern is not so much with the meaning of the story in context, but rather with their embarrassment at the fact that a serious poet like Homer should tell such a scandalous and immoral story in one of the greatest classics opf Greek literature.
		Because their interpretive strategies differ so markedly from ours, the ancient allegorists have traditionally not been held in much esteem by modern scholars.

		In antiquity the Homeric Allegorists made Hera Earth and Aidoneus Air, a view which has found its way into Aetios from Poseidonios.
		The Homeric Allegorists were not interested in the science of Empedokles, and did not see that his αἰθήρ was quite a different thing from Homer's ἀήρ.
		The Homeric Allegorists further identified Zeus with Fire, a view to which they were doubtless led by the use of the word αἰθήρ.

		Indeed, Struck says that to tie these ancient writers to later, better-known proponents of the poetic symbol, such as the Romantics, we must first redefine the term "allegorists" to mean deep interpreters critics who plumbed texts for all they were worth, not blunderers who misconstrued them.
		But to place the allegorists within the tradition of literary criticism sheds a new light on how we read and how much weíre permitted to read into a writer's work.
		They want to see everything they can within those limits." Whether they stand at the edge of their texts or beyond it, he adds, is open to case-by-case judgment and isnít the most important question.

		It then ignites the fire, burns itself up, and on the ninth day rises again from the ashes to live another life.

	Eureka -- Vol 2 -- Chap 5 -- Sec 1 General Remarks
		This is practically characteristic of the clergy and their flocks; and the consequence is, that they, like the "great Bishop of Alexandria," in Egypt, and the Millennarians and Allegorists of his time, are incapable of understanding the apocalyptic expositions of Daniel and the prophets.
		Practically, they ignore the scriptures of the prophets and apostles, while with their lips they bestow upon them "faint praise;" and find it profitable to maintain the machinery by which they are circulated.
		Well might it be said of the allegorists, that "they have no sublime and great conception, either of the glorious and truly divine appearance of our Lord, nor of the resurrection, and the gathering, and assimilation to him."

	Greek and Roman Divination - April 2001
		While much of ancient literary criticism draws from rhetoric, I will here suggest that one group of ancient readers, the allegorists, found their models for reading poetry not in the law courts or the agora but at Delphi -- where they were accustomed to hearing many layers of meaning built into riddling hexametric lines.
		That divination is the field of inquiry with which allegorism is most closely allied is strongly suggested by a somewhat striking overlap of central conceptual categories and as well as a similarity in general approach.
		Of course, ancient allegorists did not uniformly subscribe to the traditional poet/prophet association, any more than rhetorical critics would have claimed the poet is somehow coextensive with the orator.
