The Platonic tradition encompasses a wide variety of writings that interpret the myths contained in Plato’s dialogues. These myths can be divided into two types: traditional Ancient Greek myths and those created by Plato himself. In his Enneads, Plotinus discusses both types of myths and offers a distinct philosophical reading. Plotinus develops his exegetical method, which reduces the variety of characters, events, and minor details to a single metaphysical model, one that is simple, integral and immutable. Plotinus identifies different deities of Ancient Greek myths with the same intelligible principles, while the relationships between them as well as minor gods function as internal links between the hierarchic levels of Plotinus’ ontological system. In addition to Ancient Greek myths and those introduced by Plato, Plotinus expresses his own doctrine using mythological narration. However, such narratives do not require interpretation: Plotinus develops a new form of mythological speech that conveys a philosophical teaching and distinctive experience of the intelligible realm. It is a form of expression that came to be highly valued by later Neoplatonists, especially by Proclus. Moreover, Plotinus elaborates a significant number of other exegetical patterns that are clearly distinguished in the works of Proclus as well.
