Proclus, one of the last great thinkers of Neoplatonic philosophy and of ancient Greek philosophical thought in general, was born in Constantinople on February 8, 412 AD. Born into a wealthy family from Lycia, he studied at the best educational centers of his time, Alexandria, Constantinople, Athens. There he came into contact with the Athenian Neoplatonic Academy, which captivated him permanently and of which he became director after the death of his teacher, Syrianus. He died in Athens on April 17, 485 AD and was buried near Lycabettus.
Living in a time of syncretistic chaos, he would synthesize the entire preceding Neoplatonic philosophical tradition into a unified and complex system, influenced by Pythagorean, Aristotelian, and Stoic elements; in his system, he would combine the one god, the intelligible and the intellectual hypostases, magic and various entities of a demonic nature, and in this form, he would pass it on to the scholastic Middle Ages.
His work is a key source for any scholar of Neoplatonic philosophy, but also for Plato himself, whose original and extremely interesting interpretations he often proposes.
