Ancient Greek philosopher · Academics

Alcinous was a Middle Platonist philosopher. He probably lived in the 2nd century AD, although nothing is known about his life. He is the author of The Handbook of Platonism, an epitome of Middle Platonism intended as a manual for teachers.

Alcinous is read about 20 times a day, in 14 languages.
