Viac o knihe

Exploring ethical and spiritual dimensions, this collection features four works by Porphyry advocating for abstinence from animal products. It delves into the philosophical reasons behind this practice, alongside a treatise on the Homeric Cave of the Nymphs, unpacking its symbolism and mythology from the Odyssey. The book, published in 1823, serves as a valuable resource for understanding Porphyry's contributions to ancient Greek thought, while also being a facsimile reprint that aims to preserve and promote important literary works.
