Commentary on Philebos

In this article we will examine how the neoplatonic philosophers view the interferences of the Gods in their lives concerning good things. I read a comment from the dialogue of Plato, Philebos. The comment was saved by Damascios but it containts a teaching of Iamblichos.

Ancient Text

"As it seems to mee, Gods give a present to people, as it was done with Prometheas who brought down the ultra-bright fire." (Philebos 16c)

Theurgy and Philosophy are two different methods which lead to the union with God.
