edit   Welcome to the Hellenismos Portal torch: symbol of enlightenment, and additionally in Hellenismos: of wisdom and either life or death. Hellenismos (Hellenism, but religious in this case) is the Greek culture and ethnic philosophy/religion from ancient to modern times. 'Hellenismos' was first used in the fourth century by Roman Emperor Julian the Apostate to mean Greek religion, and today it is used to mean its continuation and, in Greece, Greek culture. Hellenismos includes philosophies such as the religion of the Greek gods, such as Dodecatheism, the Eleusinian mysteries, the Delphic mysteries, Hermetism, the Dionysian mysteries, and other Greek, but not all theistic, philosophies such as Orphism and Pythagoreanism, the Milesian school, the Eleatic school, other pre-Socratic philosophy, Platonism and the Peripatetic school, neo-Platonism and Skepticism and Stoicism and other Hellenistic philosophy to the present day. Important ancient/Classical Hellenismos teachers/writers/prophets include Hermes Trismegistus, the Pythia and Sibyl, Hesiod, Apollodorus, Homer, Apollonius of Rhodes, Creophylus of Samos, Orpheus, Thales, Anaximander, Pherecydes of Syros, Xenophanes, Pythagoras, Heraclitus, the seven sages of Greece, Empedocles, Anaxagoras, Parmenides, Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Antisthenes, Aristippus, Euclid of Megara, Pyrrho, Zeno of Citium, Epicurus, Ammonius Saccas, Plotinus, Hypatia of Alexandria, etc. edit   Selected article Hellenism may refer to: Hellenic studies Hellenistic civilization Hellenistic period, in Greek antiquity Hellenistic Greece Hellenization, the spread of Greek culture over foreign peoples Hellenistic philosophy in the Hellenistic period and late antiquity Hellenic Polytheistic Reconstructionism Hellenistic art Hellenism (neoclassicism), an esthetic movement in 18th and 19th century England and Germany Hellenism (Academia), the academic study of ancient Greece (a scholar in this discipline may be called a Hellenist) Greek people and their culture in general In the context of the ancient grammarians, the proper use of the Greek language A combination of all, or some, of the above in synthesis, as a personal philosophy or world-view. edit   Selected biography Plotinus (Greek: Πλωτῖνος) (ca. CE 204/5–270) was a major philosopher of the ancient world. In his system of theory there are the three principles: the One, the Intellect, and the Soul. His teacher was Ammonius Saccas and he is of the Platonic tradition. Historians of the 19th century invented the term Neoplatonism[citation needed] and applied it to him and his philosophy which was influential in Late Antiquity. Much of the biographical information about Plotinus comes from Porphyry's preface to his edition of Plotinus' Enneads. His metaphysical writings have inspired centuries of Pagan, Christian, Jewish, Islamic and Gnostic metaphysicians and mystics. edit   In the news Hellenismos' main news source from Greece: YSEE (translated to English) edit   Selected picture Rhea rides on a lion, Pergamon Altar, Pergamon Museum, Berlin. edit   Did you know? Pythagoras studied in the East, including at Mt. Carmel. He and the community (near) there had similar rare practices of ethics (and dress,) and later Socrates described some as virtuous and philosophical. Likewise, a similar community South of Mt. Carmel later kept a text of Plato's Republic, a dialogue in which Socrates spoke. This interaction has influenced various spirituality near the Eastern Mediterranean to the present day. edit   Categories Hellas (Greece) • Troad Ancient Greek culture • arts in Greek mythology & paintings depicting Greek myths • Ancient Greek philosophers • Hermetism & history of science • Ancient Greek literature & poems • Homer & Iliad & Odyssey • mythology & mythographers & religion & Greek deities • Olympus • Classical oracles • Presocratic & Classical Greek philosophy • Pythagorean philosophy • Socratic dialogues & agnosticism • Platonism & gnosticism • Hellenistic philosophy and religion • Greek mythology understanding and criticism Tetractys: Pythagoras' symbol of enumeration such as in category theory of ideal forms edit   Topics Basic: Greece • Greek culture • Greek language & alphabet Ancient thought/literature: Theogony • Works And Days • Titans • Titanomachy • The Library • Mount Olympus • Olympians • Hermetism • Argonautica • Orphic & Homeric Hymns • Epic cycle Ancient religious traditions: amphidromia • iatromantis • libations • orthopraxy • votive offerings Ancient places, events: Athens & Agora & Parthenon & Democracy & Battle of Salamis • Sparta & Timocracy & Battle of Thermopylae • Delphi & Pythia & Sibyl • Thebes • Greek temples • ancient persecution of Hellenismos • Greek War of Independence Ancient thinkers & ideas: Hermes Trismegistus • Thales • Pythagoras • Euclid • Archimedes • Socrates & Plato & Aristotle • Ammonius Saccas • Plotinus • Hypatia • philosophy • science • logic • mathematics • liberal arts • drama • politics • Republic Great ancient leaders: Pericles • Leonidas • Themistocles • Alexander The Great Great ancient playwrights: Sophocles Great ancient sculptors: Polykleitos • Lysippos • Scopas • Phidias edit   Related portals Greece Ancient Greece Classical Civilization Philosophy Religion Spirituality Greek mythology Olympics Theatre Classical music Logic Science Mathematics edit   WikiProjects Wikiprojects related to the Greece project Classical Greece And Rome • Philosophy • Science • Spirituality • Mythology • Egyptian religion (Hermes-Thoth) • Neopaganism (for those who mythology and hymns are new to) edit   Things to do Make a wikiproject Hellenismos and a Hermetism portal.
