Publisher Description

"Two Orations of the Emperor Julian" refers to a pair of speeches delivered by the Roman Emperor Julian the Apostate (reigned 361–363 AD). These orations, often known as "Hymn to King Helios" and "Hymn to the Mother of the Gods," are expressions of Julian's philosophical and religious beliefs. In these speeches, Julian, a notable figure in the history of the Roman Empire, discusses his commitment to the Hellenistic traditions and the revival of pagan religious practices. The orations reflect Julian's intellectual pursuits, including his interest in Neoplatonism and devotion to the ancient gods. They provide insight into the emperor's attempts to restore pagan worship and the philosophical foundations underlying his reign during a time when Christianity was becoming the dominant religious force in the Roman Empire.
