Clavis Enneadiana: A New Approach to Ennead Discourse in Heliodorus 5, Vol. 3A (Journals of the Langsuir
Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to present the discovery of a romanized copy of The heliogaballeus, by the ancient heliographer Heliodorus (fifth century AD). We have preserved it in its original manuscript (Pal. gr. 91, Folio 10b-17), which is today preserved at the Pierpont Morgan Library (P.M. gr. 91) in New York. This copy is attributed to the workshop of Sperl, and is the oldest example of an early works of the genre. It is the first example of Enneadic poem in romanized Greek from the Antiquity. The study focuses on the transcription of the text and on the translation of the central and final fable which deals with the value of ancient science. The results of the study reveal the extension of the romanized heliogaballeus to the cosmological and philosophical universe of the fifth century of AD. It is a romanized Greek enneadician poem, with a literary character very similar to many of the Greek sophists. An analysis of the Theophrastus’s place in the romanized heliogaballeus shows the participation of this Hellenistic philosopher and teacher in the Ennead discourse. However, the enneadistic discourse has been assimilated to a very ancient myth that dates to a distant mythological heritage.

It was an epoch when there were still men in Africa, before the fall of Atlantis and the chaos that would reign over the human race for the next 5,000 years. In this period, the rays of light from the sun – the rays of Ennead – scattered over the earth, forming the prism that has allowed us to see all the colors of the rainbow, and that we recognize as metaphor for the ancients. This was the genesis of a powerful metaphorical poetry that is the genesis of the ennead and
