Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Works of the Emperor Julian, Vol. 1 When the excesses of the revolutionary Gallus ended in his death at the hands of Constantius, J ulian, an awkward and retiring student, was summoned to the court at Milan, where he was protected by the Empress Eusebia from the suspicions of Constantius and the intrigues of hostile courtiers. Constantius had no heir to continue the dynasty of the Constantiif He therefore raised Julian to the Caesarship in 355, gave him his sister Helena in marriage, and dispatched him to Gaul to pacify the Gallic provinces. To the surprise of all, Julian in four successive campaigns against the Franks and the Alemanis proved himself a good soldier and a popular general. His Commentaries on these campaigns are praised by Eunapiusl and Libanius,2 but are not now extant. In 357 - 358 Constantius, who was occupied by wars against the Quadi and the Sarmatians, and threatened with a renewal of hostilities by the Persian king Sapor, ordered Julian.

Another sophistic element in his style is the use of commonplaces, literary allusions that had passed into the sophistic language and can be found in all the writers of reminiscence Greek in his day. He himself derides this practice 1 but he 'cannot resist dragging in the wellsworn references to Cyrus, Darius, and Alexander, to the nepenthe poured out by Helen in the Odyssey, t'o'the defiance of nature by Xerxes, or the refusal of Socrates to admit the happiness of the Great King. Julian wished to make neo-platonism the philosophy of his revived Hellenism, but he belonged to the younger or Syrian branch of the school, of which Iamblichus was the real founder, and he only once mentions Plotinus. Iamblichus he ranked with Plato and paid him a fanatical devotion. His philosophical writing, especially in the two prose Hyn'ms, is obscure, partly because his theories are only vaguely realised, partly because he reproduces the obscurity of his model, Iamblichus. In satire and narrative he can'be clear and straightforward. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Works of the Emperor Julian Vol 3 of 3 Classic Reprint written by Wilmer Cave Wright and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-01 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Works of the Emperor Julian, Vol. 3 of 3 The more important letters and edicts in this volume are hardly intelligible to a reader unfamiliar with the historical background. The following brief summary of Julian's career is intended to explain the allusions in the text and to supplement the Introduction in Vol. 1. In his more formal works, especially the manifesto To the Athenians written in 361 as an apologia for his rebellion against the Emperor Constantius, and the Misopogon written in 362, a satire on his own austere habits addressed to the citizens of Antioch, Julian himself relates the main incidents of his childhood and youth. For the last ten years of his life, 353-363, the best authority is Ammianus Marcellinus, the Latin historian, an eye-witness. Flavius Claudius Julianus was born at Constantinople in 331, the only son of Julius Constantins, half-brother of Constantine the Great, and Basilina, a highly educated woman and devout Christian, who died when Julian was a few months old. From his father's earlier marriage there survived a son, Gallus, a daughter, probably named Galla, who married her cousin the Emperor Constantius II, and another son whose name is unknown.
