| This passage looks almost like an intentional illustration of selections from Plato's Timaeus, or from Plotinus's Enneads, commenting on it. |
| The Enneads of Plotinus are the fundamental documents of Neoplatonism. |
| To prove its existence in ancient religion he cites the famous passage from Plotinus's Enneads, that initiates of the mysteries must enter them naked. |
| Cooper successfully navigates the reader through the relevant parts of the Enneads. |
| Unless otherwise stated, I use the translation and Greek text of Plotinus, The Enneads, trans. |
