Synesius of Cyrene on Providence, Dreams, and the Kingdom

Synesius of Cyrene, late fourth and early fifth centuries CE, is the name this site attaches to a Greek writer from a wealthy house in Cyrene, a hearer of Hypatia in Alexandria, later bishop of Ptolemais around 410 CE. Later hosts say he kept his marriage and reserved himself on a literal rising of the body.

What this site holds is Greek under several headings: On Kingship, to Arcadius; On Dreams; On Providence; In Praise of Baldness; Hymns; and 156 Letters, which also keep his speech with Hypatia.

A book here is that late Greek, written by one man who held both the old school-room and a bishop's chair. The letters are a contemporary record, not a later encyclopedia of the change.
