Definition

Proclus of Athens (c. 412-485 CE) was a prolific Platonic philosopher whose main aim was the seemingly impossible task of defending traditional Greek polytheism at the time when his contemporary culture was almost completely dominated by Christianity. He was the last significant pagan intellectual who spent his entire career providing a philosophical framework to Greek polytheism.
