Philosophical schools in contrast and a platonic commonplace in Philostratus, Life of Apollonius of Tyana I, VII.
Keywords:
Atticism, philosophical schools in the Roman Empire, Plato, Philostratus, Pythagorean life, Apollonius of TyanaAbstract
In the passage I, VII of the Life of Apollonius of Tyana, Philostratus synthetically describes Apollonius’ adolescence, his brief stay in Tarsus until his move to Egas, when Apollonius will have a new and eccentric teacher. We will see in the excerpt previously analyzed and translated by us: (i) how the Attic domain of Apollonius, expressed by Philostratus, reveals an exemplary anachronism, (ii) how some stereotyped traits are exposed about the philosophical schools with which Apollonius would have had contact and finally (iii) how the metaphor of growing wings probably comes from a Platonic commonplace, specifically from Phaedrus (Phdr. 249c4-256b6).
