		Maximus' intended audience was the neoi who had to choose a philosophy to live by in the second-century intellectual supermarket.
		Trapp sensibly observes: "This is philosophy for the nervous, in need of encouragement, and for those who are as concerned for their image as cultivated Greeks as for the pure (and possibly subversive) light of reason.
		Trapp notes that like many of his contemporaries Maximus, though more of a Platonist than anything else, is not a doctrinaire Platonist, but one who espouses beliefs in theology and ethics acceptable to Platonists, Aristotelians, and Stoics alike (xxiv).

		Tyre is also the British spelling of tire.
		Tyre (meaning a rock) is an ancient Phoenician city in Lebanon on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea, about 23 miles, in a direct line, north of Acre, and 20 south of Sidon.
		Tyre consisted of two distinct parts, a rocky fortress on the mainland, called "Old Tyre," and the city, built on a small, rocky island about half-a-mile distant from the shore.

		The closest formal parallel to Maximus' two lectures is Apuleius' De deo Socratis, which also casts its (still fuller) exposition of the basic theory as an explanation of the specific case of Socrates' daimÒnion; but see also Philo Gig.
		Maximus' discussion provides the fullest surviving development of the notion that da¤monew are an indispensible rung in the hierarchy of living beings in the cosmos, but otherwise contains nothing not amply parallelled in the other sources, and at several points sidesteps difficulties or refinements which they take into account.
		Ficino lists Maximus with Hermias and Apuleius as authorities on Socrates' daimÒnion in the introduction to his translation of the Theages; Poliziano notes the catalogue of oracles in Or.

		Maximus of Tyre was a second-century Greek philosopher and sophist whose writings and orations contain elements of Neoplatonic mysticism and cover numerous topics from Platonic theology to the proper attitude to pleasure.
		He was known also as a moralist and a systematizer of organic nature.
		Drawing upon a wide range of scholarly positions, including those of the Peripatetics and Stoics, Maximus pioneered a theology that ultimately served to establish Platonism as a legitimate source for early Christian philosophical thinking.

		An appreciation of the point of view of the Hellenistic Greeks toward religion can be obtained from the Alexandrian mythographer Maximus of Tyre [fl.
		If a Greek is stirred to the remembrance of God by the art of Phidias, an Egyptian by paying worship to animals, another man by a river, another by fire--I have no anger for their divergences; only let them know, let them love, let them recall." [1] [p.

		And, we should note, even Maximus does not speak of "girls" and "boys," but of "men" and "women." It is as wrong to deduce that Sappho was surrounded only by prepubescent girls as it would be to deduce that Socrates never spoke to anyone except males under the age of eighteen.
		Maximus is our only source for such "rivals." Yet by taking his comparison in a naively literal fashion, there has sprung up the widespread vision not just of Sappho's Academy but of a Lesbos littered with warring boarding schools.
		This reinscription of Sappho along the lines of male power relations is implicit in Maximus of Tyre and explicit in several other texts.

	Charles Olson
		He chose Maximus (named after the second century Maximus of Tyre, as well as the itinerant fourth century mystic, and possibly a reference to Olson's towering height) to narrate this poem, which examined the origins of American culture and life in contemporary Gloucester.
		The Maximus Poems first appeared in 1960; the volume was followed by The Maximus Poems, IV, V, VI (1968) and an unfinished final volume, The Maximus Poems, Volume Three (1975).
		Kenneth Rexroth noted that the scope of Olson's poetry was "as broad as Pound's." Olson's shorter poems have been collected in the volumes Archaeologist of Morning (1970) and Selected Poems by Charles Olson (1993).

	Amazon.ca: Books: Maximus Of Tyre: the Philosophical Orations (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		The Orations of Maximus of Tyre cover a range of philosophical topics - from Platonic theology to the proper attitude to pleasure, via prayer, demonology, the problem of evil, and the active and contemplative lives - in a manner calculated to appeal to an educated and literate, but philosophically unsophisticated, public.
		Their unique blend of Middle Platonic doctrine with a polished and lively rhetorical form opens a window onto the high culture of the second century AD: the world not only of the Second Sophistic but also of the first Christian apologists.
		The introduction and notes of this translation, which is the first into any modern language since 1804, pay attention both to the Orations as a product of their own culture and to the history of their reception in the Byzantine and Renaissance periods.

		This late second century B.C. Greek philosopher who with Maximus of Tyre was responsible for the transition from Platonist idealism to Neoplatonic synthesis, managed to bridge the Hellenistic, Persian and Jewish intellectual systems, to reaffirm, in his words, that "matter and God are inherently separate".

	Sappho and Her Influence - By C. Ravin, Esq. - Summer/Autumn 2002 - Lovestarz.com
		But there is no word for love in the Greek passage, and the ancient interpretation of Maximus of Tyre is preferable, especially as Cleïs is definitely mentioned by Suidas and as the name reappears as that of a young woman in another of the old fragments and in one of the new pieces.
		There is some reason to suppose that she had a serious illness at this time, and, indeed, her reference to Death in the poem which we read just now may perhaps have been inspired by a recent close approach to the dark portals of the dreaded underworld.
		Maximus of Tyre quotes two lines of hers, and says in this connection: "Socrates scolds [his wife] Xanthippe for weeping when he is about to die, and similarly Sappho chides her daughter [Kleïs]." He then gives the couplet, which reads,

		They may be imagining prepubescents here, but puella, of course, is used equally of girls, mature women, and goddesses, especially as objects of love, and Horace calls Sappho herself a puella at Odes 4.9.12.
		There is an implication in the passages of Philostratus, Maximus of Tyre (Alcibiades, Charmides and Phaedrus were young men), and the Cologne Commentary (paideusousa) that Sappho had young women as students.
		Even then there is no indication that these women were girls on their way to the marriage market.

		After noting that some severe fathers may disapprove of their sons' having lovers, the author commends the practice, citing the examples of Socrates, Plato, Xenophon, Aeschines, and a multitude of others who approved of chaste male loves as a way of "guiding adolescents towards culture and political leadership and excellence of character."
		Less original than Plutarch is Maximus of Tyre, a rhetorician who lectured in Rome about 180 C.E. Of his forty orations, four (18-21) extol the Socratic eros as a path to honor and virtue.
		But Maximus not only echoes the Laws by decrying intercourse between men as sterile and unnatural, he consistently denies that there was anything physical in any of the loves of those he invokes as models.

		But I would add this as well: Maximus of Tyre[11] contends that the poets themselves are in no way secondary in wisdom to the philosophers or inferior, with the exception of certain other Platonists.
		In giving proof of this, these men achieved much indeed; in that they thought out certain sorts of snares for human ears, these men, philosophers in fact but poets in name, [Philosophers in fact but poets in name.] brought an enviable quality to that art which could seduce people completely.
		There is extant a very fine oration of Maximus Tyrius the Platonic philosopher, in which he honours the dignity of poetry so highly, since it exceeds in antiquity that of philosophy, that he asserts that it is the same thing, though different in name.
