The Golden Verses constitute the oldest extant Pythagorean teaching. Delivered by Pythagoras (6th century B.C.E.) and codified by his disciples, they convey the essential core of the exemplary way of life he initiated at Crotona. Hierocles composed his commentary on the Golden Verses at some time between 415 C.E. and 450 while he occupied the successor's chair of the Alexandrian Academy, the direct offshoot of the Platonic Academy in Athens. The translation of the commentary included here is adapted from that of N. Rowe. The text and the commentary are prefaced by an illuminating essay on "Pythagoras and His School" by Raghavan Iyer, President of The Pythagorean Sangha.

This collection is a "one-stop" for those wanting to be introduced to the teachings and wisdom of Stoic Philosophers. This eBook contains an unbelievable amount of stuff that is simply put, a steal of a deal at the current price. I have it as a reference and having so much in one location is important to me. I am more than happy with this and consider it a "Must-Have" for any student of stoic philosophy.

Philogelos ( lover of laughter) is a collection of over 260 jokes of imperial and Byzantine vintage. The humor can seem at times surprisingly modern; at other times it seems so feeble as scarcely to deserve the name. In general it is aimed at the stupidity of persons who are variously called "scholastics" or citizens of, e.g., Cyme or Abdera. Many of the anecdotes are transmitted in two different versions, and this, together with their various dates of origin, poses special problems for an editor. The present edition is accompanied by a full Index Verborum and an Appendix which gives all the variants necessary for an understanding of the role of Minas Minoides, whose claims to have discovered a new and valuable manuscript are now generally discounted.
