    Leo the Philosopher:Job and Other Poems*

    L. G. WESTERINK

    I. Life and WorkLeo the Mathematician and Philosopher (b. 790/800, d. after Jan.869) has now a firmly established place among the leading figures ofthe ninth century Byzantine revival of classical culture and science.1His claim to it, however, rests, rather than on his own record, on theaccounts of various chroniclers, in which historical fact is mixed witha certain amount of legend.2From their sometimes conflicting information the following biographical outline has been pieced together by P. Lemerle. Born,probably, at Constantinople, Leo received some kind of higher education from an unnamed scholar on the island of Andros; for the

    * This paper could not have been written but for the generosity of R. P. JosephParamelle, of the Institut de Recherche et d'Histoire des Textes (Paris), who drewmy attention to the poem and gave me his own transcript of the first hundred lines.' On Leo, see in the first place, E. E. Lipic, "Vizantijskij ucenyj Leo Matematik,"Vizant. Vremennik2 (27), 1949, 106-149, and P. Lemerl e,Le premier humanisme byzantin,Paris 1971, 148-176; further literature in Lemerle, p. 148, n. 1; add H. Hunger, Diehochsprachliche profane Literatur der Byzantiner, 2 vols., Munich 1978, in various places(see index), esp. I, 18-19 and II, 237-239; N.G.

The emperorTheophilus (829-842), now realizing Leo's true value, appointed himto teach at the Church of the Forty Martyrs (of Sebaste). A fire signalchain between Constantinople and Cilicia (the Muslim frontier), themeaning of the signal depending on the hours when it was given, issaid to have been his invention. Eventually (840) he was ordainedmetropolitan of Thessalonica by the iconoclast patriarch John theGrammarian, a relative. His incumbency came to an end when, inthe regency of Theophilus' widow Theodora, the tide turned in favorof image worship (843). During the personal rule of Theodora's sonMichael III (855-867) and on the initiative of the emperor's uncleand chief advisor Bardas (d. 866), he was appointed to the chair ofphilosophy at the newly-founded school in the Magnaura Palace. Thelast known date is the earthquake of January 869, which Leo is saidto have survived by locating the only safe place in a collapsing church.To this second-hand information can be added the tangible evidenceof stray notes in some manuscripts, which connect Leo with our textsof Plato, Ptolemy, Archimedes and Euclid.3 Epigrams I-VI (reprintedbelow) must have figured originally in Leo's copies of the authorsthey present: Cyrinus + Marcellus on mechanics, Paulus' Apotelesmatica, Theo + Proclus, Achilles Tatius (either by Leo or by Photius),4Porphyry (most probably the Isagoge, in which case the volume musthave contained the entire Organon) and Apollonius of Perge. Thereis, however, no explicit testimony to the effect that Leo himself editedor revised these texts, except in the case of Plato.5

    The amount of extant writings from the hand of this eminentscholar and scientist is disappointingly small. After the eliminationof the work of two namesakes and near-contemporaries, who untilrecently were often confused with him,6 Leo Choerosphactes, magisterand proconsul (ca. 850-ca. 920), and the emperor Leo (VI) the Wise(born 866, ruled 886-912), this is all that remains:

    3 Details in Lemerle, pp. 167-171.4 Photius is mentioned first, Leo only as an alternative claimant; the verse technique(paroxytone ending) does not favor this claim, see below p. 204.5 See the note at Plato, Laws 743b in O (= Vat. gr. 1), in G. C. Greene, ScholiaPlatonica, Haverford 1938, p. 322; further particulars in Lemerle, p. 168, n. 73.6 The error still prevails in K. Krumbacher, Geschichte der byzant. Litteratur, 2nded., Munich 1897, 722-723; it was set right chiefly by E. Lipic, op. ext., cf. G. Kolias,Leon Choirosphaktes, Athens 1939, 65-68.

    L. G. Westerink 195In prose: (1) a sermon on the occasion of the feast of theAnnunciation;7 (2) a four-page note on Euclid;8 (3) some extracts on

    astrology and related subjects, many of them, as is often the casewith this kind of material, of doubtful attribution or authenticity.9 Inverse: (1) Job, a didactic poem in 638 hexameters, which until nowhas escaped notice, and is presented here for the first time; (2) tenor eleven epigrams, which I have added to round off Leo's poeticalwork, as well as for convenient reference and comparison.

    II. The EpigramsWith only two exceptions, all the epigrams have been preserved inthe Anthologia Palatina. Numbers I-VI are book epigrams, servingeither as headings or as colophons to manuscripts. The genre is wellrepresented in the Anth. Pal. (in particular, IX. 184-214); it had along past (starting with Callimachus) and a long future (well into theeighteenth century); in the ninth century examples are especiallyfrequent, ranging from distichs to effusions of over 200 lines.10 Thoseby Leo may have been gleaned directly from his own library, perhapsby himself. The puzzling vvv in III. 13 ("Theo, who now instructsthe city of Alexander") has led to the conclusion that these epigramsand their poet belong to the fifthcentury; but, as Lemerle has pointedout, since Theo lived in the fourth century and Proclus, who sharesthe poem with him, in the fifth, the "now" cannot possibly refer tothe time of writing."Epigram VII is an enigma for which no satisfactory solution hasyet been offered. It may originally have been a technopaignion, thethree lines, which are of nearly equal length (35, 35, 34 letters),representing the herald's wand: one line (the first?) for the staff, the

    196 Illinois Classical Studies, XIremaining two for the serpents. I have failed, however, to discoverany letter pattern. The addressee who is invited to contemplate thisfigure is apparently a Sicilian living in Constantinople; one possiblecandidate would be Leo's ungrateful student, Constantine the Sicilian,about whom later.The Homeric cento, VIII ("The Rape"), also stands by itself,unless Stadtmiiller was right in attributing Anth. Pal. IX. 381 ("Heroand Leander") and IX. 382 ("The Echo") to the same author.

    All these poems are from Book IX of the Anthology, one more(Number IX) has survived in Book XV. 12, a short meditation onthe best way of life by "Leo the Philosopher, surnamed the Pagan."Whether Leo must be held responsible for some of the palindromesin the Appendix Planudea (= Book XVI. 387c) and in the largercollection edited by L. Sternbach,'2 is doubtful. Some manuscriptsmention Leo the philosopher or Leo the rhetorician as the author;in the lines themselves the names Leo and Photius occur.

    The two remaining epigrams have been preserved elsewhere.Number X is from the so-called Sylloge Euphemiana,13 a small collectionof epigrams (most of them also in the Anth. Pal.) compiled in thereign of Leo VI. Writing to his doctor, Leo points out the absurdityof a regime of cold water for an old man of a naturally phlegmatictemperament, in an unusually cold month of February and in an icy,drafty house.The last, Number XI (also published by Sternbach, loc. cit.),exemplifies the Byzantine notion of satire: crude, brutal insult inverse. The speech defect which Leo indicates is clearly a problemwith the r-sound, but not the substitution of I for it, as in theTpavXifeiv of Alcibiades (Aristophanes, Wasps 42-46); the soundproduced is described as a turtle-dove's cooing, perhaps a soft uvularr. Leo seems to consider it an odious mannerism rather than a speechimpediment. Chronologically, it is unlikely (though not quite impossible) that the student in question was the quaestor Anastasius oTpauAo

    L. G. Westerink 197Anthology poem, o TpavXoq figures (practically) as a proper name, andArethas, in some unfriendly comments on one of Anastasius' poems,15also uses it as such: 'Avaaraaiov tov reuq KOLaiarupoq, a) to TpavXoqyvoipitr/ia. The date of Arethas' letter is unknown; if Kougeas' guessis right,16 the unnamed individual who (some time after 920) accusedArethas of high treason,17 and who is described in similar words, wasthis Anastasius. On this assumption, there would be a difference ofat least fifty years between Leo and Anastasius.To the genuine epigrams, I add three more which are certainlynot by Leo, but have been repeatedly printed as his, thus introducingbiographical errors. Number XII follows (in Vat. gr. 915) two poemswritten after Leo's death by his former pupil Constantine the Sicilian;the first, in elegiac couplets, accuses Leo of paganism; in the second(in iambic trimeters) Constantine defends himself against the reproachof ingratitude to the memory of his teacher, but the title describes itas ' AiroXoyia Atovroq (friXoaoifiov, Kad' rjv Xpiarov fitv akfiti, rot 'EXXt^vuv8e avXiei,a description totally irreconcilable with the content ofthe poem.18 In consequence, the epigram following it was also takento be by Leo, who thus in his old age bade farewell to poetry andbecame a student of rhetoric under Photius. In Photius' correspondence there is a letter to Leo concerning a point of Biblical Greek,but we have no evidence of any closer contact.19Items XIII and XIV are the dedicatory poems of the SyllogeEuphemiana, already mentioned. Since in the manuscripts and inBoissonade's edition they are preceded by Leo's epigram X, Leobecame their author and thereby a native of Hypata in Thessaly anda contemporary of Leo the Wise, which led to further confusion withLeo Choerosphactes, even after Schneidewin had pointed out theerror.20

    202 Illinois Classical Studies, XIis duly recorded in Omont's description of the manuscript,21 nobodyseems to have paid any attention to it, until Father J. Paramellerediscovered it some ten years ago.In the manuscript, the poem itself is preceded by a protheoria inprose, short and to the point, which sounds like a program ratherthan a summary, and must be by Leo himself.22The poem can be summed up as follows:Prologue (1-18). Ours is a message of joy. We must first deal withthe question of character (which may be such as to resist all treatment),after which we will recount the story of Job and other lights of thisearth. If only happiness were less rare in the world !Part I (19-38): character. There is no cure for the lachrymosetemperament of Heraclitus, nor for Timon's innate misanthropy.Part II (39-215): Job. His prosperity and subsequent misfortunes,grief and resignation (39-101); his disease, his wife's reproaches(102-154). The visiting friends: Job curses the day of his birth(155-186); Zophar's [Eliphaz'] answer (187-201). After seven years(!) God intervenes and restores Job's fortunes (202-215).Part III (216-638): a consolation on traditional lines, with paganand Christian examples. We must follow Job's example (216-226).Though grief over the loss of relatives and friends is natural andmay be overpowering, because the origin is physiological as much asmental, there are considerations by which we can master it (Thales,Xenophon) (227-315). The only profitable tears are those we shedbecause of our sins (316-338). Examples of David, Abraham, themother of a young martyr of Sebaste,23 the mother of the Maccabees,Socrates (339-399). Why should we grieve when a loved one hasescaped the miseries of this world? (400-430). Loss of honor andrank can be borne (Dionysius, Orontes) (431-487). So can poverty(Jacob, a shepherd; the apostles, fishermen; Artaxerxes, Anacreon,Antisthenes) (488-608). Whatever happens to us has happened toothers; nothing in this world is stable (609-627). Musonius' prayer;the poet's own (628-638).

    Obviously, the work is written in the tradition of the Staxpi/Jij ofHellenistic and Roman times, with two important differences: (1) it21 H. Omont, Inventaire sommaire des manuscrits de la Bibliotheque Nationale, II,1888.22 The protheoria which Eugenicus wrote to Heliodorus' Aethiopica (A. M. Bndini,

    Catalogus codicum Graecorum Bibl. Laurentianae, III, Florence 1770 [Leipzig 1961],322-323) is totally different in manner: verbose, and heavily rhythmical.2:1One of the "Forty Martyrs" in whose church Leo taught for many years (abovep. 194).

    L. G. Westerink 203is entirely in verse, and thereby different from the Menippean satireas well as from the Epictetean prose tract; (2) it differs from comparable Greek prose works in that, like Cicero's Tusculanae, it attemptsto strengthen the reader against any kind of misfortune: bereavement,disgrace, poverty. The philosophy is of a homely, unpretentious kind,not unlike that propounded in Epigram IX. There is nothing, hereor elsewhere, to indicate a metaphysician who could have played aleading part in the preservation and revival of Neoplatonic literature.24When Constantine the Sicilian mentions Proclus among the friendsthat Leo will meet in hell

    204 Illinois Classical Studies, XIcombined with that of the Christian homilist, which, at least for ashort period of his life, he actually was. With the Homeric languagecomes also Homeric meter, or what is supposed to pass for it, andhere we are faced with a problem, that of the prosody of this poem.In the epigrams, Leo's hexameters (a total of 26 lines), thoughthey do not meet the rigorous requirements of the Nonnian hexameter, are all sound by classical and Hellenistic standards. Similarly,his iambic trimeters are regular Byzantine dodecasyllabics, with onlyone case of the use of an anapest (III. 10); besides the paroxytoneverse end, which around this time became the rule, Leo also admitsthe proparoxytone and the oxytone end. Here and there, but rarely,a dichronon is given the wrong quantity: a at IX. 1, oufypovcf, i at I.1, Kvpivoq; d at V. 1, Ilopcpvpu.The poet of Job, on the contrary, permits himself considerablefreedom in the matter of prosody. I list the principal irregularities.(1) Elision not expressed in writing (e.g., 146, 154, 160), a practicenot uncommon in the period.(2) Crasis not expressed in writing (233, 474).(3) Hiatus after a long vowel without correptio (10, 28, 61, 68, 70,

    etc.).(4) Hiatus after a short vowel (21, 26, 40, 43, 48, 61, etc.); withlengthening of the short vowel (27, 185).(5) Intrusive movable v either before a vowel (29, 264, 368, 555),or before a consonant (125); omission of movable v (103).(6) Confusion of single and double consonants: 27 iXtfibpoio, 34oTricrco, 75
