Abstract

This article examines the use of the horse as an image of the body and of passion in the Alexandrian theological tradition. It started with Philo, who regarded the horse as a symbol of passion. Clement and Origen adopted the Philonic interpretation. Origen, who exploited the image most, saw the horse as representing the body, bodily things, irrational passions and desires of the flesh. Finally, following in Origen's footsteps, Didymus also interpreted the horse as a figure of the body. In addition, both Origen and Didymus distinguished between the image of the horseman and that of the rider, following the example of a predecessor, whom they did not mention by name: Philo.

Abstract

The author discusses the violence in the early years of Cyril of Alexandria's episcopate. Cyril, the archbishop of Alexandria from 412 till his death in 444, has been described as a saint by some and as a villain by others. The turbulent beginning of his tenure as bishop is partly responsible for negative assessments, but, his attitude and actions during the Nestorian controversy have largely contributed to his reputation, not just positively, but also negatively. The monks of Egypt, who actively supported their bishop during his first years, also played a role at the council of Ephesus in 431, and Cyril is infamous for the scale of the bribes he sent to the imperial court immediately following that council. The film Agora , on the philosopher Hypatia, suggests that Cyril resorted to violent means to extend the powerbase of the church. Keywords: Alexandria; council of Ephesus; Cyril; Egypt; Hypatia
