	Iamblichus (philosopher)
		The Roman emperor Julian, not content with Eunapius' more modest eulogy that he was inferior to Porphyry only in style, regarded Iamblichus as more than second to Plato, and claimed he would give all the gold of Lydia for one epistle of lamblichus.
		He was the son of a rich and illustrious family, and he is said to have been the ancestor of several priest-kings of Emesa.

	Iamblichus of Chalcis
		At a time when most wealthy families chose Greek names, Iamblichus chose to retain his Semitic name, perhaps to honor his noble ancestors, who included several priest-kings of Emesa.
		Among the philosophers he trained was Aedesius (died c.355), himself the teacher of Maximus of Ephesus (died 370), who in turn initiated the Emperor Julian (331-363) into the mysteries of Neoplatonism and encouraged him in his doomed attempt to revitalize paganism in the face of spreading Christianity.
		Eventually, perhaps around 305, Iamblichus returned to Syria to found his own school at Apameia (near Antioch), a city already famous for its Neoplatonic philosophers.

	Teachings: The Pagan Iamblichus
		So much was Porphyry (who became the teacher of Iamblichus in Neo-Platonic philosophy) convinced of this, that though he, himself never practised theurgy, yet he gave instructions for the acquirement of this sacred science.
		A great Theurgist, mystic, and writer of the third and fourth centuries, a Neo-Platonist and philosopher, born at Chalcis in Coele-Syria.
		Correct biographies of him have never existed because of the hatred of the Christians; but that which has been gathered of his life in isolated fragments from works by impartial pagan and independent writers shows how excellent and holy was his moral character, and how great his learning.
