Homer the Theologian: Neoplatonist Allegorical Reading and the Growth of the Epic Tradition

Appendix 3. A Sampling of Proclus's Use of Homer

APPENDIX III A Sampling of Proclus's Use of Homer 1. Both the index auctorum of Festugiere's annotated translation of the Republic commentary and that of Kroll's Teubner text have been used. The latter index is somewhat more conservative. Where they do not agree, I have given the entry in parentheses, "(x)*" indicates a reference recognized by Festugiere but not by Kroll, "(x)**" one recognized by Kroll but not by Festugiere. 2. The same system has been used here, incorporating both the statistics from Festugiere's translation of the Timaeus commentary and those from Diehl's Teubner text. 3*6 APPENDIX III This appendix indicates in tabular form the references to the books of the Iliad and Odyssey in four of the major works of Proclus.

This table is based on the index auctorum of Pasquali's Teubner text. 4. This table is based on the indices auctorum of the first three volumes of Saffrey and Westerink's Bude edition of the Platonic Theology. The final volumes had not appeared at the time of writing, and the statistics are therefore incomplete, and my own search for the referencesin the final books has doubtless left some of them undetected.
