2020-01-08 NSPRM - Proclus - Theology of Plato (Book 6, Chapter 12)

Synopsis Pierre leads the Noetic Society Parmenides study group through another session of study. Lately we've been taking a break from the Parmenides, going through Proclus' Theology of Plato (*) instead, in order to see how Proclus lays out the 14 orders of gods implied in the Parmenides. Today we read Book 6, Chapter 12. Before we jumped into Chapter 12, though, Barbara asked Pierre about this quote, “Moreover, the incommensurability of Pherephatta with multitude, and the terror and astonishment which she excites, are indicative of the power in her which is exempt from all things, which is unapparent to the many and unknown.” Pherephatta is another name for Persephone. It's at the bottom of the third paragraph from the end. Why terror and astonishment? And then we went on to the chapter at hand.
