Marinus ({{lang-grc|Μαρῖνος ὁ Νεαπολίτης}}; born c. 440 AD) was a Neoplatonist philosopher born in Flavia Neapolis (modern Nablus), Palestine. He was a student of Proclus in Athens. His surviving works are an introduction to Euclid's Data; a Life of Proclus; and two astronomical texts. LifeHe was probably a Samaritan, or possibly a Jew.[1] He came to Athens at a time when, with the exception of Proclus, there was a great dearth of eminent men in the Neoplatonist school.[2] It was for this reason rather than for any striking ability of his own that he succeeded to the headship of the school on the death of Proclus in 485.[2] During this period, the professors of the old Greek religion suffered persecution at the hands of the Christians and Marinus was compelled to seek refuge at Epidaurus.[2] The year of his death is not known. WorksHis chief work was a biography of Proclus,[2] the chief source of information on Proclus' life. The publication of the biography is fixed by internal evidence to the year of Proclus's death; for he mentions an eclipse which will happen when the first year after that event is completed. It was first published with the works of Marcus Aurelius in 1559; it was republished separately by Fabricius at Hamburg in 1700, and re-edited in 1814 by Boissonade with emendations and notes.[2] He is also the author of a commentary (or introduction) on the Data of Euclid, and a commentary on Theon's Little Commentary.[3] There is also a surviving astronomical text which discusses the Milky Way.[3] His lost works included commentaries on Aristotle and on the Philebus of Plato.[2] It is said that he destroyed the latter because Isidore, his successor, expressed disapproval of it.[2] References1. ^{{MacTutor Biography|id=Marinus}}.

He became a convert to the Greek way of life and joined the Academy in Athens where he was a pupil of Proclus who was head of the Academy. In fact when Proclus wrote a commentary on the Myth of Er, he dedicated it to Marinus." {{Platonists}}{{Greek mathematics}}{{Authority control}}2. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 {{Cite EB1911|wstitle=Marinus (philosopher)}} 3. ^1 {{MacTutor Biography|id=Marinus}} Accessed: November 22, 2008. 15 : 440 births|5th-century Byzantine people|5th-century philosophers|Ancient Greek mathematicians|Neoplatonists in Athens|Neoplatonists|Hellenistic Jewish writers|Year of death unknown|Byzantine-era pagans|Ancient Greek biographers|5th-century Byzantine writers|5th-century astronomers|5th-century Byzantine scientists|Byzantine astronomers|5th-century mathematicians |
