1. 1. Epicurus And His Gods

   

   A rigorous study of Epicurean theology, explaining how the gods—immortal, perfectly blissful, and detached from the world—serve as ethical models rather than providential powers. Drawing on ancient testimonies and later Epicurean texts, it examines prolepsis and eidola to account for belief in divine beings while denying their intervention in human affairs, clarifies the school’s critique of superstition and fear, and explores the tension between the gods’ ontological status and their practical role in securing ataraxia within Hellenistic religious culture.

2. 2. La Révélation D'hermès Trismégiste

   

   A landmark multi-volume study of the Hermetic writings that reconstructs the religious and philosophical milieu of Hellenistic Egypt, situating the Corpus Hermeticum within Greek Platonism, Stoicism, and popular piety. It distinguishes technical occult texts from philosophical treatises and examines themes such as divine revelation, cosmic devotion, the ascent of the soul, and salvation, arguing for the fundamentally Greek character of the doctrine amid syncretism. The work also traces the transmission and influence of these ideas in late antiquity, including their intersections with early Christian and Neoplatonic thought.
