Iamblichus' Life of Pythagoras
by IamblichusShort description
Translated by Thomas Taylor. This sometimes meandering but always interesting biography of Pythagoras is incredibly telling not only as to the origins of Pythagoreanism, but also of its author, Iamblichus. As with all of Taylor's translations, although accuracy sometimes suffers at the hands of poeticized prose. However, Taylor's intensely personal relationships with the Hellenistic texts imbues his translations with a sympathetic understanding that, I think, aids in holistic comprehension.
