About Hierocles
Hierocles was a Stoic philosopher in the first half of the second century A.D.—a Neo-Stoic, accordingly—and was often confused, prior to the nineteenth century, with the Alexandrian Neoplatonic philosopher of the same name who lived in the fifth century A.D. and was the author of a commentary on the Carmen aureum (Golden Verses) of Pythagoras and a treatise De providentia (On Providence). Our author, however, belongs rather to the world of Neo-Stoicism or Roman Stoicism, which is closely related to Ancient and Middle Stoicism but also has various characteristics that are specific to it.
