Protreptic Motifs in St Basil’s Homily On the Words

‘Give Heed to Thyself’

Olga ALIEVA, National Research University Higher School of Economics,

Moscow, Russia

ABSTRACT

The article considers some protreptic motifs of the First Alcibiades in St Basil’s homily

On the Words ‘Give Heed to Thyself’. Dealing with a verse from Deuteronomy (15:9:

Prósexe seaut¬ç etc.). St Basil evidently regards it as a biblical counterpart of the

Delphic maxim gn¬qi sautón, using the sacred text to impel his audience to virtue and

self-knowledge. In the second part of this article we highlight some parallels between

St Basil’s text, Porphyry’s writing Perì toÕ gn¬qi sautón, the Preparation for the

Gospel XI 27 of Eusebius of Caesarea and the Address to Origen traditionally ascribed

to Gregory Thaumaturgus. We finally point to similar interpretations of Prósexe

seaut¬ç in Philo’s treaty On the Migration of Abraham and in Clement of Alexandria’s

Stromata. In conclusion, we argue that both in choice and in elaboration of his subject

St Basil follows the platonic tradition; in compliance with this tradition St Basil associ-

ates the protreptic motifs of the First Alcibiades with the motifs of immortality and

the knowledge of God. Just like for Porphyry and (as far as we can judge) for Origen,

self-knowledge is not an end in itself for him; impelling his audience to ‘give heed’ he

urges them to ascend towards the knowledge of God, which is the true philosophy for

him. The genre of the philosophical protreptic, whose traits we find in the homily, turns

out to be opportune precisely because for St Basil, along with the earlier Christian writers,

it is Christianity which is the only real philosophy.

St Basil’s homily On the Words ‘Give Heed to Thyself’¹is sometimes referred

to as an exegetical writing,²since formally it is an interpretation of a line from

Deut. 15:9. However, one shouldn’t expect to find in this homily an enquiry

into the meaning of the verse in question. My purpose on this occasion is to

demonstrate that the way St Basil dealt with the verse from Deut. had been

determined by protreptic literature, notably by the First Alcibiades. In the first part

of this paper I shall highlight some motifs of this dialogue. Since we can hardly

assume that St Basil developed this subject independently, the second part of

our paper is dedicated to scholarly interpretations of this dialogue and their

supposed influence upon St Basil’s homily. Finally, we’ll focus on reasons why

St Basil chose Deut. 15:9 to impel his audience to virtue and self-knowledge.

Motifs of the First Alcibiades in St Basil’s homily

Although the First Alcibiades is believed to spurious,³nevertheless it ‘has been

read as a convenient introduction to Plato ever since antiquity’.⁴Albinus

(II AD) in his Eîsagwgß recommends that the course of the Platonic philoso-

phy should begin with this dialogue.⁵Aelius Aristides (II AD) in Pròv Plá-

twna üpèr t¬n tettárwn compares the First Alcibiades with the Alcibiades

of Aeschines and points to the protreptic function of both.⁶According to Pro-

clus, ‘the divine Iamblichus allotted it the first place among the ten dialogues

in which he conceives the whole philosophy of Plato to be contained, their

entire subsequent development being anticipated as it were in seminal form in

this dialogue’.⁷One of the extant Iamblichus’ texts, the Protrepticus, contains

a passage paraphrasing the First Alcibiades, which also corroborates the

assumption that certain motifs and arguments of this dialogue were regarded as

exhortative in antiquity.⁸

In the homily On the Words ‘Give Heed to Thyself’ we find several motifs

reminiscent of the First Alcibiades. First of all, both in the First Alcibiades and

in St Basil’s homily self-knowledge is closely associated with care for one’s

soul. In the dialogue Socrates associates the Delphic maxim with êpiméleia

ëautoÕ:⁹‘Listen to me and the Delphic motto, Know thyself (gn¬qi sautón);

Courcelle points out that the Delphic motto used to have various philosophical interpretations

in antiquity, see Pierre Courcelle, ‘Connais-toi toi-meme’, de Socrate à saint Bernard (Paris,

71

for these people [the Persians – O.A.] are our competitors … and there is noth-

ing that will give us ascendancy over them save only pains (êpimeleíaç) and

skill’.¹⁰For Socrates self-knowledge is a prerequisite for êpiméleia ëautoÕ:

‘If we have that knowledge, we are like to know what pains to take over our-

selves; but if we have it not, we never can’.¹¹He goes on to identify self-

knowledge with the knowledge of one’s soul and concludes that the Delphic

maxim ‘bids us become acquainted with the soul’.¹²

Dealing with a verse from Deuteronomy (15:9: Prósexe seaut¬ç, mß pote

génjtai Å ma kruptòn ên t Ç kardíaç sou ânómjma) St Basil evidently

considers it as a biblical counterpart of the Delphic maxim, although there’s

nothing in the text of Deuteronomy that might provoke such an interpretation.

The verse says:

Beware that there be not a thought in thy wicked heart, saying, The seventh year, the

year of release, is at hand; and thine eye be evil against thy poor brother, and thou

givest him nought; and he cry unto the Lord against thee, and it be sin unto thee.

St Basil borrows just one line from the whole verse: ‘Beware that there be not

a thought in thy wicked heart’. After a brief discussion of this line in the intro-

duction to his homily, he skips to the interpretation of the first two words only,

Prósexe seaut¬ç, which enables him to introduce some protreptic motifs in

the homily, one of them is that of cux v êpiméleia. Thus, he says, ‘“Give heed

to thyself”, that is, to your soul (t Ç cux Ç)’. And further:

Adorn it, care for it (êpimeloÕ), to the end that, by careful intention, every defilement

incurred as a result of sin may be removed and every shameful vice expelled, and that

it may be embellished and made bright with every ornament of virtue (27.7-10).

Secondly, both the author of the First Alcibiades and St Basil identify the self

and the soul. In the dialogue the interlocutors inquire whether we should iden-

tify the self with the soul, the body or the possessions of the body. They finally

conclude that it is the soul we should care for, not our body or possessions.

Man ‘turns out to be nothing else than soul’,¹³which is ‘the self itself’, Socrates

says. It follows therefore that without knowing ourselves (™m¢v aûtoúv) we can’t

know our belongings (tà ™métera) or our belongings’ belongings (tà t¬n

™metérwn).¹⁴We find this threefold division in St Basil’s homily also:

1974), I 12: ‘… Le succès du “ Connait-toi toi-même ” tient à l’emploi littéraire qui en fut fait

dès une haute époque et aux interprétations philosophiques très diverses auxquelles il se prêtait’.

‘Give heed to thyself’ – that is, attend neither to the goods you possess nor to the

objects that are round about you, but to yourself alone. We ourselves (™me⁄v aûtoí) are

one thing; our possessions (tà ™métera) another; the objects that surround us (tà perì

™m¢v), yet another. We are soul and intellect (™ cux® kaì ö noÕv) in that we have been

made according to the image of the Creator. Our body is our own possession and the

sensations which are expressed through it, but money, crafts, and other appurtenances

of life in this world are extraneous to us (26.15-27.2).

To illustrate the meaning of the Delphic inscription that impels us to know our

soul, Socrates recurs to a comparison with the power of sight:

If an eye (ôfqalmóv) is to see itself, it must look at an eye, and at that region of the

eye (toÕ ∫mmatov) in which the virtue of an eye is found to occur; and this, I presume,

is sight … And if the soul (cuxß) … is to know herself, she must surely look at a soul,

and especially at that region of it in which occurs the virtue of a soul – wisdom…¹⁵

Speaking of the ‘faculty of attention’, which may refer either ‘to absorption in

visible objects’ or ‘to an intellectual gaze at incorporeal realities’ St Basil seems

to follow Socrates’ thought in the First Alcibiades:

How could one encompass his whole person with a glance (t¬ç ôfqalm¬ç)? The eye

doesn’t apply its power of sight to itself … It remains, therefore, to interpret the precept

as referring to a mental action (tàv katà noÕn ênergeíav). ‘Give heed to thyself’ – that

is, examine yourself from all angles. Keep the eye of your soul (tò t v cux v ∫mma)

sleeplessly on guard… (25.21-26.6).

Although in these texts the capacity of the soul (cuxß) to know herself is

compared to the power of sight (both authors mention ôfqalmóv and ∫mma),

the similarities are not verbatim.¹⁶However, the context in which the motifs

of the First Alcibiades occur in St Basil’s homily enables us to assume that

he was well aware of the scholastic interpretations of this dialogue. To these

interpretations the second part of our paper is dedicated.

Motifs of immortality and the knowledge of God

It’s obvious that the subject of St Basil’s homily is not limited to the topic of

the First Alcibiades and that the exhortative motifs of the latter are used in the

homily in a different context, notably in that of immortality and the knowledge

of God. Self-knowledge for St Basil is in the first place the way to ascend

towards the knowledge of God:

15

Ibid. 133b2-10.

16

They rarely are in St Basil, who always adjusts his sources to his own literary purposes.

See, e.g., Ernesto Valgiglio, ‘Basilio Magno Ad adulescentes e Plutarco De audiendis poetis’,

Rivista di Studi Classici 23 (1975), 67-85.

Protreptic Motifs in St Basil’s Homily On the Words ‘Give Heed to Thyself’

73

Scrupulous attention to yourself will be of itself sufficient to guide you to the knowl-

edge of God. If you give heed to yourself, you will not need to look for signs of the

Creator in the structure of the universe; but in yourself, as in a miniature replica of

cosmic order (oïoneì mikr¬ç tini diakósmwç), you will contemplate the great wisdom

of the Creator (35.13-5).

The expression mikr¬ç tini diakósmwç, as well as the combination of the motifs

of self-knowledge and the knowledge of God brings to mind Porphyry’s text

Perì toÕ gn¬qi sautón, preserved by Stobaeus in his Anthology (along with

the First Alcibiades) in the chapter dedicated to self-knowledge.¹⁷Porphyry

considers the Delphic maxim as an invitation to philosophy (oûdèn ãllo

keleúein Æ filosofe⁄n), since the man is nothing else than ‘a miniature

replica of the cosmic order’ (mikròn diákosmon).¹⁸As Bennett puts it, for

Porphyry to know oneself is to ‘recognize man as a microcosm who fittingly

prepares himself to contemplate the macrocosm, the universe’.¹⁹Although

Porphyry doesn’t mention the First Alcibiades directly (referring, however, to

other Plato’s dialogues), we find in his writing the above mentioned division

™m¢v aûtoúv – tà ™métera – tà t¬n ™metérwn which dates back to the dia-

logue.²⁰It is also beyond any doubt that a representative of the platonic school

could not possibly bypass this dialogue while dwelling upon self-knowledge.

Nevertheless Porphyry’s text has some novelties as compared with the First

Alcibiades. According to Porphyry, to know oneself comprises the knowledge

of one’s soul and one’s intellect (t®n cux®n kaì tòn noÕn²¹) – not just soul,

as Socrates argues in the dialogue. Secondly, for Porphyry self-knowledge

implies the cognition of the immortal human essence; he distinguishes the

‘inner man’ (ö êntòv âqánatov) and the ‘external’ one (ö êktòv eîkonikóv)

saying that the former is immortal, the latter is mortal.²²

It is under Porphyry’s influence another 4^thcentury Christian author, Euse-

bius of Caesarea, cites the First Alcibiades in his Preparation for the Gospel

(XI 27.5 = 133c1-16) in the chapter dedicated to immortality.²³‘In the doctrine

of the immortality of the soul Plato differs not at all in opinion from Moses’,

Eusebius remarks introducing a quotation from the dialogue.²⁴Interpreting a

verse from Genesis (2:7), Eusebius says that the man is compound of ‘the vis-

ible body (tò fainómenon s¬ma) and the man of the soul (tòn katà cux®n

nooúmenon) that is discerned only by the mind’.²⁵The biblical words that God

created man in His own image and likeliness (eîkÑn qeoÕ kaì ömoíwma) refer

‘to the powers that are in God (katà tàv ên t¬ç qe¬ç dunámeiv²⁶), and to the

likeness of virtue (kaì katà t®n t v âret v ömoiótjta)’, Eusebius continues.²⁷

In the First Alcibiades, he maintains, Plato ‘speaks on this point also as one

who had been taught by Moses’. The reference to the ömoíwma qeoÕ with

regard to the dialogue seems more natural in light of the interpolation attested

by Eusebius in the Preparation for the Gospel. Let us remind that the quotation

drawn by Eusebius from the First Alcibiades contains several lines absent from

the manuscript tradition.²⁸In these lines the image of the mirror is elaborated

in detail. ‘Just as there are mirrors clearer than the mirror in the eye, and purer

and brighter, so God is something purer and brighter than the best that is in our

soul’, Socrates argues in this interpolation. So, by looking at God, we would

know ourselves best.²⁹The image of God-mirror enables Eusebius to associate

the dialogue with the t v âret v ömoiótjv motif and to shift the emphasis of

the dialogue from the ethical problems to metaphysical ones.

The motifs of self-knowledge, the likeliness of divine and human virtue along

with the image of the God-mirror occur in the Address to Origen, written by

St Gregory of Neocaesarea or, as some scholars suppose, by some other student

une raison de cette association par Eusèbe des thèmes de l’Alcibiade et de l’idée de l’immortalité

de l’âme’, Geneviève Favrelle, ‘Le platonisme d’Eusèbe’, in Eusèbe de Césarée, La Préparation

Eusebius, Praeparatio Evangelica XI 27.5.

According to Favrelle, Eusebius neatly incorporated a marginal gloss into the dialogue,

28

associating it with the meaning of the whole chapter. Another source for this passage is Stobaeus,

but he is more careless in incorporating the gloss which leads to a repetition. G. Favrelle, ‘Le

platonisme d’Eusèbe’ (1982), 374: ‘… il semble alors que Stobée ait mal introduit une glose

marginal dans le corps du dialogue – lui ou sa source – et qu’il se soit rattrapé en repentant le

membre de phrase prématurément copié. Eusèbe, au contraire, a pertinemment accroché un com-

mentaire à une idée importante…’

of Origen.³⁰This text was available at Caesarea and thus could have influenced

Eusebius’ perception of the dialogue.³¹Describing his master’s pedagogical

methods, the author of the Address says that Origen taught his students to care

for their souls (êpimélesqai³²) by knowing themselves (ëautoùv ginÉskein³³):

… he taught that prudence consisted in the soul’s remaining self-contained, and in the

desire and endeavour to know ourselves, this the noblest task of philosophy, which is

ascribed to the most prophetic of spirits as the prime maxim of wisdom – ‘Know thyself’.

That this is the true work of wisdom and this the divine wisdom, is well said by the

ancients, and that the virtue of God and of man is veritably the same (t®n aût®n ∫ntwv

oŒsan qeoÕ kaì ânqrÉpou âretßn), when the soul studies to see herself as in a mir-

ror (¿sper ên katóptrwç), and also mirrors (katoptrihoménjv) the divine mind in

herself (if she becomes worthy of such fellowship), and traces out an unutterable path

of this apotheosis.³⁴

As Favrelle rightly points out, ‘ce texte commente l’Alcibiade dans le sens du

néoplatonisme; mail il exprime aussi des idées voisines de celles d’Eusèbe dans

son chapitre sur l’immortalité de l’âme: la similitude de la vertu en l’homme

et en Dieu, rapprochée du texte de l’Alcibiade sur la connaisance de soi et le

symbole du miroir’.³⁵A valuable observation was made by Pierre Courcelle,

who noticed that the motif of self-knowledge occurs in the Address ‘en des

termes très proches de l’Alcibiade et plus encore de l’interpolation attestée par

Eusèbe de Césarée’.³⁶It should, however, also be noticed, that the participle

katoptrihoménjv is reminiscent of 2Cor. 3:18:³⁷‘But we all, with open face

beholding (katoptrihómenoi) as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed

into the same image from glory to glory’. So, already as late as in the time of

Origen the exhortative motifs of the First Alcibiades were closely associated

with St Paul’s words in the 2Cor.; we also find in the Address the idea of

likeliness between the divine and the human virtue (t®n aût®n ∫ntwv oŒsan

qeoÕ kaì ânqrÉpou âretßn) which is associated here with the image of the

mirror. We cautiously assume that Porphyry himself was acquainted with

Origen’s interpretation; the etymology of the word swfrosúnj, which we find

in both writings, is one of the indications. Thus, according to Porphyry swf-

rosúnj springs from sofrosúnj and impels therefore to save the frónj-

siv.³⁸A parallel to this passage is found in the Address to Origen:

… we are temperate (swfrone⁄n), he said, when we preserve the wisdom of the soul

(diaswhoménouv t®n frónjsin) which knows herself; if it has accrued to her, for this

in turn is Temperance, a certain saving knowledge (sÉan tinà frónjsin oŒsan)…³⁹

Now, returning to the subject of this article, we should notice that St. Basil also

considers self-knowledge in close connection with immortality:

Examine closely what sort of being you are. Know your nature – that your body is

mortal, but your soul, immortal; that your life has two denotations, so to speak: one

relating to the flesh, and this life is quickly over, the other referring to the soul, life

without limit. ‘Give heed to thyself’ – cling not to the mortal as if it were eternal;

disdain not that which is eternal as if it were temporal. Despise the flesh for it passes

away; be solicitous for your soul which will never die (27.11-6).

It is also noteworthy that Basil just like Porphyry identifies the self with the noÕv,

whereas in the First Alcibiades only soul is mentioned: ‘We are soul and intellect

in that we have been made according to the image of the Creator…’ (26.17).

The Delphic maxim and Prósexe seaut¬ç in Philo and Clement

The fact that Porphyry knew the writings of Origen is attested by Eusebius who

cites Porphyry in his Church History:

For they [i.e. Christians – O.A.] boast that the plain words of Moses are enigmas, and

regard them as oracles (qespísmata), full of hidden mysteries; and having bewildered

the mental judgment by folly, they make their explanations. Farther on he [Porphyry –

O.A.] says: As an example of this absurdity take a man whom I met when I was young,

and who was then greatly celebrated and still is, on account of the writings which he has

left. I refer to Origen, who is highly honored by the teachers of these doctrines.⁴⁰

Porphyry’s testimony that the Christians regarded ‘the plain words of Moses’ as

oracles is of particular interest for us; however we failed to find any associations

Protreptic Motifs in St Basil’s Homily On the Words ‘Give Heed to Thyself’

77

of the Delphic maxim⁴¹with the biblical Prósexe seaut¬ç in Origen’s writ-

ings. Such association can be found in Clement, Origen’s predecessor as the

head of the Catechetical School of Alexandria. In the second book of the Stro-

mata he says: ‘“Know thyself” is more clearly and often expressed by Moses,

when he enjoins, “Take heed to thyself”’.⁴²In the fifth book he associates the

motif of self-knowledge with that of immortality:

Similarly also the maxim ‘Know thyself’ shows many things; both that thou art mortal,

and that thou wast born a human being; and also that, in comparison with the other

excellences of life, thou art of no account, because thou sayest that thou art rich or

renowned; or, on the other hand, that, being rich or renowned, you are not honoured

on account of your advantages alone. And it says, Know for what thou wert born, and

whose image thou art; and what is thy essence, and what thy creation, and what thy

relation to God, and the like.⁴³

In Philo of Alexandria’s treaty On the Migration of Abraham we also find this

association. Interpreting Gen. 12:1: ‘Depart from thy land, and from thy kin-

dred, and from thy father’s house to a land which I will show thee’, Philo says

that this verse impels the man to ‘alienate’ from the body, the outward senses

and uttered speech correspondingly.

Be alienated from them in your mind, allowing none of them to cling to you, standing

above them all; they are your subjects, use them not as your rulers; since you are a

king, learn to govern and not to be governed; know yourself (gínwske seautón) all

your life, as Moses teaches us in many passages where he says, ‘Take heed to Thyself’

(prósexe seaut¬ç).⁴⁴

It should be noted that Philo not only regards these expressions as synonymous,

but uses them in the same context as St Basil, speaking of the ruling position

of the soul in the human being and of the necessity to ‘govern’ the body.

To sum it up, we argue that both in choice and in elaboration of his subject St

Basil follows the platonic tradition, notably Philo and Porphyry. The influence

of Philo who regarded prósexe seaut¬ç and gínwske seautón as practically

synonymous constructions was, in all likelihood, mediated by Clement of

Alexandria and Origen. It was the latter who, judging from the Address to

Origen, associated the image of the mirror in the First Alcibiades with the motif

of the knowledge of God and the corresponding passage from the 2Cor. Though

we cannot be sure in this regard, it seems probable that it was Origen or one

of his closest students who wrote the gloss, incorporated later by Eusebius and

by Stobaeus in the text of the dialogue. In interpreting the Delphic precept as

an injunction to ascend towards the contemplation of the macrocosm (êpì t®n

toÕ pantòv qewrían⁴⁵), Porphyry is also likely to have had Origen’s interpre-

tation in mind; as for Eusebius, he relied both on Origen and on Porphyry.

Elaborating the protreptic topic of the First Alcibiades (self-knowledge and

care for one’s soul) St Basil in compliance with the above mentioned tradition

shifts the emphasis to the metaphysical problems, such as that of immortality and

the knowledge of God. Just like for Porphyry and (as far as we can judge) for

Origen, self-knowledge is not an end in itself for him; impelling his audience

to ‘give heed’ he urges them to ascend towards the knowledge of God, which

is the true philosophy for him. The genre of the philosophical protreptic, whose

traits we find in the homily, turns out to be opportune precisely because for

St Basil, along with the earlier Christian writers, it is Christianity which is the

only real philosophy.
