Abstract

The paper explores on the testimony of Plutarch and Porphyry, the role and function of the philosopher whose mode of life negotiates liberation from the range of the senses. This includes an investigation into his diet and sacrifice, the culmination of which is the re-assessment of his demarcation from the masses.
