Hello /x/.
So /his/ has not been any help to me and you lot seem like the only other bunch that would be knowledgeable on the subject I'm interested in.
I was listening to 'History of Rome' podcast recently.
And the during an episode on Julian 'the apostate', there is a brief discussion on some of the religious reforms he had planned.
Unfortunately, the podcast failed to go into much detail.
I find the idea of a centralized Hellenic religion, organized around a Neoplatonic view of the universe very interesting.
Unfortunately, I have failed to locate any sources that give much detail on what Julian had planned.
While I know this is abit of a shot in the dark.
I would greatly appreciate if anyone here would be able to provide me with some detail on this topic.

Those words were falsely misattributed to him by a critic of his long after Julian's death.

At one point he tried to rebuild the great jewish temple of jerusalem, yu know the one jesus supposedly exploded on death?
Yeah that went horribly wrong due to all kinds of shit.
He also wanted at one point to run the pagan version of christian charities and actively went out of his way to subvert christianity as much as he possibly could.
The guy was seriously butthurt about it for reasons to this day nobody understands.

>/his/ didn't help
Sad.
Try >>18869942, maybe somebody can give you a light.
Also, you could take a look in the European folder and Neo Platonism folder in the MEGA library, might have something you're looking for.
Good luck.
