Isidore of Alexandria
Isidore of Alexandria ( or ; or Isidorus or , (ギリシア語:Ἰσίδωρος); c. 450—c. 520) was an Egyptian or Greek〔Encyclopædia Britannica: (Isidore of Alexandria (Greek philosopher) )〕 philosopher and one of the last of the Neoplatonists. He lived in Athens and Alexandria toward the end of the 5th century AD. He became head of the school in Athens in succession to Marinus, who followed Proclus.
==Life==
Isidore was born in Alexandria. In Athens, he studied under Proclus, and learned the doctrine of Aristotle from Marinus.〔Suda, (μ199 )〕 According to Damascius, "Isidore was awestruck at the sight of Proclus, venerable and marvelous to see; he thought he was seeing in him the very face of true philosophy."〔Damascius, ''Life of Isidore'' fr. 248 (cf. Suda, (αι89 ))〕 Proclus for his part used to "marvel at Isidore's appearance, as it was possessed by the divine and full of the philosophical life within."〔Damascius, ''Life of Isidore'' fr. 80 (cf. Suda, (ει40 ); (ει301 ))〕 Damascius further tells us that "Isidore, besides simplicity, loved truthfulness especially, and undertook to be straight-talking beyond what was necessary, and had no pretence in himself whatsoever."〔Damascius, ''Life of Isidore'' fr. 45 (cf. Suda, (α4587 ))〕 The claim made in the ''Suda'' that Isidore was the husband of Hypatia,〔Suda, (υ166 )〕 must be in error since Isidore was born long after Hypatia died.〔"Isidorus 1" entry in John Robert Martindale, (1980), ''The Prosopography of the Later Roman Empire''. Cambridge University Press〕 It is elsewhere related that Isidore had a wife called Domna, who died five days after the birth of their son whom they named Proclus.〔Damascius, fr. 399 (cf. Photius, 301)〕
Isidore returned to Alexandria accompanied by Sallustius.〔Damascius, ''Life of Isidore'' fr. 138 (cf. Suda, (σ62 ))〕 In Alexandria he taught philosophy. He was in Athens when Proclus died (in 485), and later when Marinus took over as head (''scholarch'') of the Neoplatonist school.〔 Marinus persuaded him to be his successor as head of the school, but he left Athens not long after Marinus died,〔"Isidorus 5" entry in John Robert Martindale, (1980), ''The Prosopography of the Later Roman Empire''. Cambridge University Press〕 resigning his position to Hegias.〔
Isidore is known principally as the teacher of Damascius, whose testimony in his ''Life of Isidore'' presents Isidore in a very favourable light as a man and a thinker. Damascius' ''Life'' is preserved in summary form by Photius in his ''Bibliotheca'',〔Photius, ''Bibliotheca'', 181, 212〕 and in fragments in the ''Suda''.
