FORTY-SEVENTH LIFE 281<br />

Chart XLVII c<br />

Alexandria (Birth <strong>of</strong> Herakles) A.D. 350<br />

The story <strong>of</strong> the life and death <strong>of</strong> Hypetia is too well known to need repetition here. But it will be well to link out chart to the history <strong>of</strong> the period<br />

by mentioning the names <strong>of</strong> a few <strong>of</strong> our characters. Neptune appeared this time as lamblichus, the author <strong>of</strong> a book on the Mysterious<br />

he married Naga, one <strong>of</strong> the fivee daughters <strong>of</strong> Vulcan and Nestor. Tripos was a pupil <strong>of</strong> his, named Aedesius. Apollo was Theon, the father<br />

<strong>of</strong> Hypetia, and Lutea was the Roman prefect Orestes, whose friendship was at the same time valuable and tiresome to her. Most <strong>of</strong> our characters<br />

were slain along with her. Her cousin Yajna married Osiris, and their eldest son was Venus, who in this incarnation was known to history<br />

as Proclus. Yajna and his wife loved travel, so it happened that their eldest son Venus was born not at their home in Alexandria, but in<br />

Constantinople in the year 411. Later on they lived for a time at Xanthos in Lycia, then, after returning home to Alexandria, they spent a considerable<br />

time in Athens. All these somewhat erratic movements played their part in the training <strong>of</strong> the young Proclus, and helped to make him<br />

what he was, the last great exponent <strong>of</strong> Neo-Platonism--the man whose influence overshadowed the whole mideaval Christian Church.<br />
