		The argument is briefly that in chapter 20 of the Commentary Hierocles identifies the Demiurge with the Pythagorean tetractys or tetrad.

		The argument is briefly that in chapter 20 of the Commentary Hierocles identifies the Demiurge with the Pythagorean tetractys or tetrad.
		But it is inconceivable that Hierocles should have thought that the tetractys was a first principle, since in the entire Pythagorean tradition everyone holds that it is derived from a One or monad.

		Hierocles of Alexandria is a fifth century Neoplatonist who argued against astrology, particularly an astrological theory based on a Stoic view of Fate and Necessity.

		He next shows a want of good taste by relating, as if it were a miracle, how Apollonius and his companions saw some sort of demon, to which he gives the name of Empusa, along the road, and of how they drove it away by dint of abuse and bad words.
