	Olympiodorus of Thebes Criticism and Essays
		Although Olympiodorus dedicated his lengthy history of the late Imperial period in Rome to the eastern emperor Theodosius II, most of the events it relates occur in the western half of the Empire.
		Olympiodorus detailed the subsequent decades of material destruction and political turmoil prompted by an insufficient Imperial response to the situation, prior to the ameliorative coronation of Emperor Valentinian III in Rome.
		In any case, modern critics generally agree that Olympiodorus should be viewed as a discursive historian in the tradition of Herodotus, but with little pretension toward elevated, literary history in the grand manner represented by his predecessor.

	Olympiodorus
		Olympiodorus of Thebes was a Greek pagan historian from Thebes in Egypt, and had an interest in geography which led him to travel widely.
		Olympiodorus described his work not as a history, but as source material for a history.
		Olympiodorus was frequently referenced by Zosimus, especially for the period between AD 400-425.

		Peiraeus and Munychia were also re covered, and Olympiodorus, at the head of a small body of troops which he raised at Eleusis, put to flight a body of troops in the service of Demetrius, who were ravaging the plain.
		Olympiodorus seems to have had better qualifications as a statesman than as a writer ; and in various missions and embassies amongst barbarian states he rendered important services to the empire, for which the highest honours were conferred upon him by the Roman senate (Photius, Cod.
		Olympiodorus had the reputation of being an eloquent man and a profound thinker.

	[No title]
		Paulus published an Introduction to Astrology in 378 C.E. Olympiodorus, known as a scholar of Aristotle but also an astrologer, wrote a Commentary on Paulus in 564 C.E. The commentary was based on a series of astrological lectures he gave in Alexandria between May and July of that year.
		Paulus’ description, and Olympiodorus’ explanation, of the calculation and use of lots to determine astrological outcomes can easily be applied today, particularly with computer programs available to do the tedious calculation for us.
		The terminology used by these authors to describe the phases of the Moon is brilliantly instructive in learning more about how the Greeks perceived the Moon.

		Dexippus of Athens, Eunapius of Sardis and Olympiodorus of Thebes wrote the history of the Roman Empire in the third, fourth and fifth centuries A.D., respectively.
		Olympiodorus never cites Eunapius by name and no parallels have been detected and151; nor would they be expected to shine through Photius’ epitome.
		Olympiodorus did not, however, imitate Eunapius’ way of writing history, since among other things he abandoned the regnal structure, included much autobiographical detail and admitted Latinisms and technical jargon.

		Olympiodorus and Callistratus were both relatives; Callistratus’ wife was Olympiodorus’ sister.
		Olympiodorus took him and along with Callistratus examined him by torture, because he was slanderously said to have stolen a thousand drachmae from Conon.
		Olympiodorus and Callistratus plotted together about the lawsuits and agreed that Olympiodorus would lay claim to the whole estate, while Callistratus would sue for half.

	David (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
		Olympiodorus, who was a pagan, held the chair of philosophy at Alexandria as a successor to Ammonius and Eutocius for well over 30 years, from around 530 to about 565.
		In fact, the texts we have state in their title that they were written down "from the voice" of David; this means that while the teacher lectured, a student would take copious notes that were then copied out and circulated, a practice that was not uncommon in the Alexandrian school.
		We do not know whether the texts transmitted under the name of ‘David’ were written at a time when Olympiodorus was still alive and active, or whether they date to the last decades of the 6th, beginning of the 7th, centuries.

		Olympiodorus was seated at a table with a Roman matron and her two children.
		Her two children were staring open-mouthed at Olympiodorus as he devoured the food that had been meant for them.
		But Olympiodorus continued, his arms flailing wildly as he declaimed about the magnificence of cloth, the mysteries of cloth, the nature of cloth, even the divinity of cloth.

		Now in the share of this fellow Olympiodorus there was a man, one of the color-grinders, whom Comon used to regard as most faithful to himself; the man's name was Moschion.
		But when he returned with the rest of the troops, the defendant Olympiodorus was indignant, men of the jury, at what had occurred, and thought he had been outrageously treated.
		The defendant Olympiodorus was the first to plead, and he said whatever he pleased and offered whatever testimony he saw fit, while I, men of the jury, sat in silence on the opposite platform.

		Olympiodorus of Thebes and the Sack of Rome
		This edition brings together all that can be recovered of the "Histories" of Olympiodorus of Thebes (circa 370-430).
		Olympiodorus's account of the sack of Rome is considered by far the best: it included an extended analysis of the political and military blunders which led up to it, and the slow recovery which followed.

		He is speaking of future punishment, and explicitly denies its absolute eternity; but, on the other hand, says that it is aionian, that is, lasting for a definite aion, or period, in which the sinner is purged.
		Olympiodorus was an Aristotelic philosopher, and resided at Alexandria.

		Damascius was his disciple, and later on John Philoponus, Asclepius, Simplicius and Olympiodorus.
		OLYMPIODORUS was also a convert; indeed we might say that from the middle of the sixth century the Alexandrian school was mainly Christian.
		A new cycle of speculations was thus gathering force when in 640 the Arabs invaded Egypt and burned the Alexandrian schools and the famous library which had long been the glory of the Caesars.

	Paulus Alexandrinus - AstrologyNotes
		He lived in Alexandria, a scholarly center of the Roman world, where astrology was also at its most sophisticated, when Rome's power was declining and the capital of the Roman Empire had been moved to Constantinople.
		We know he was regarded as a considerable authority because we have the record of a series of lectures given on his work by the Neo-Platonist philosopher Olympiodorus some two centuries later (in 564 A.D.), in Alexandria.
		These lectures were preserved in a work called the Commentary and both Paulus' Introduction and Olympiodorus' Commentary have been translated together [1] to give a rather unique view of the development of astrological technique and attitudes from the tumultuous late Roman Empire through the even more unstable early Byzantine Empire.

		Olympiodorus offered Proclus his daughter in marriage, but while admiring her attainments in personal dignity and philosophy, he chose to remain unmarried throughout his life.
		Ulpian of Gaza, a fellow disciple, recalled that Olympiodorus spoke very rapidly and indistinctly, making his complex discourses difficult to understand.

	Elias (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
		Due to a certain similarity in style and content, it is generally supposed that “Elias,” like “David,” belonged to the school of Olympiodorus and that he lived and worked perhaps in Alexandria in the second half of the 6th century CE.
		The author of these works may have been a pupil of Olympiodorus, and in that case it is quite possible that his commentary on the Isagoge was composed as a transcript of Olympiodorus’ lectures.
		In the tradition of Neoplatonic philosophical training, Porphyry’s Isagoge and Aristotle’s Categories were part of the standard curriculum for beginners, a practice that was well established by the 5th and 6th centuries.

	Astrology Books from Robert Hand's Arhat Publications
		Chief among the commentaries are those of a man identified as Heliodorus, aka Olympiodorus, though his exact identity is unknown.
		In his introduction, Rob Hand says, "We see in the combination of Paulus & Olympiodorus that late Greek Astrology was in fact much closer to early Arabic than has generally been recognized.
		While the Arabic tradition clearly picked up much from the Persian that was not to be found in the Greek tradition, some of the methods that achieved such prominence in the Arabic tradition are already found in the Paulus-Olympiodorus tradition.

		This is the third translation of Paulus' Introduction, but this is the first time that the work has been published along with the oommentaries of later Greek astrologers as well as the extensive commentary now attributed to Olympiodorus, a noted Neoplatonist of early sixth century Alexandria.
		The Olympiodorus work is itself as extensive as the Introduction of Paulus to which it was to serve as commentary.
		The Paulus by itself has proven to be a rather terse and unclear work which is of limited value by itself as an introdcution to late Greek astrology, but when it is combined with the scholia and the Olympiodorus Commentary, we have a much more complete description of this school of astrology.

		It was only with Heimonius and his son Ammonius that a definite succession can be traced at Alexandria.

		The school's last head, Stephanus, moved to and became head of an academy in Constantinople in 610.

	Equinox - Abstract
		An impor¬tant element of any such discipline would be a method of mythological hermeneutics that could be applied cross-culturally.
		The other modes of interpretation, while useful in particular contexts, are not uniformly applicable to all myths, interpret the myths as concerning things other than the Gods themselves, and interpret the myths with reference to particular sectors of the cosmos.
		From Olympiodorus the method derives strategies for interpreting basic narrative attributes that myths share with all stories.

		The dozen historians represent the `sub-genres' of classicising historiography (Ammianus Marcellinus, Eunapius, Olympiodorus, Priscus), breviaria (Aurelius Victor, Eutropius, Festus), ecclesiastical history (Rufinus, Socrates, Sozomen, Theodoret), and Orosius, who is sui generis.
		The public careers of Aurelius Victor, Eutropius, and Festus are all at least partially known, from Ammianus Marcellinus and other sources, whereas none of the other authors is attested anywhere except in his own pages, with the exception of Orosius and possibly Ammianus (a topic of major debate, summarised at pp.
		Eutropius and Olympiodorus reveal their palatine milieu through style, Eutropius by his predilection for abstract substantives, characteristic of the chancellery prose of the Theodosian Code and other products of the court, Olympiodorus by his unclassical transliteration of Latin titles for governmental posts and citing of exact figures.
