Elias (; ; fl. 6th century) was a Greek scholar and a commentator on Aristotle and Porphyry. He was a pupil of Olympiodorus in Alexandria in the late-6th century.〔Jonathan Barnes, 2006, ''Porphyry Introduction'', page xxi. Oxford University Press〕 His name suggests that he was a Christian.〔Richard Sorabji, (1990), ''Aristotle transformed: the ancient commentators and their influence'', page 36.〕 A commentary on Porphyry's ''Isagoge'' written in Greek has survived.〔〔D. N. Sedley, 2003, ''The Cambridge companion to Greek and Roman philosophy'', page 249.〕 Some fragments survive of a commentary he wrote on the ''Prior Analytics'' of Aristotle, and he is known to have written on the ''De Interpretatione'' of Aristotle.〔Arnold Hugh Martin Jones, John Robert Martindale, J. Morris, 1992, ''The prosopography of the later Roman Empire'', Volumes 2-3, Elias 6, page 438. Cambridge University Press〕 It is also possible that the extant Commentary on Aristotle's ''Categories'' which is attributed to David was actually written by Elias.〔''The Cambridge Ancient History: Late antiquity: empire and successors, A.D. 425-600'' page 844.〕 In addition, a second extant commentary on Porphyry's ''Isagoge'' was falsely ascribed to Elias.〔〔Pamela M. Huby, R. W. Sharples, Dimitri Gutas, 1995, ''Theophrastus of Eresus, Sources for His Life, Writings, Thought and Influence'', page 17. BRILL.〕 The commentary was also falsely ascribed to David,〔 and it has been conjectured that it may have been written by Stephen of Alexandria.〔 Historian's from the ''Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy'' pointed out〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Elias )〕 :Moreover, Elias repeatedly emphasizes the Platonic-Neoplatonic conviction that the purpose of philosophy is the transformation or assimilation of a human being to the godhead, a genuinely Platonic ideal explicitly stated in the Theaetetus, (176A-B). ==See also== *Protrepticus (Aristotle) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Elias (Greek scholar)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
