Magnes The Shepherd
Magnes the shepherd, sometimes described as Magnes the shepherd boy, is a mythological figure, possibly based on a real person, who was cited by Pliny the Elder as discovering natural magnetism. His name, "Magnes", the Latin word for ''magnetite'', has been attributed as the origin of the Latin root that has passed into English, giving its speakers the words ''magnet'', ''magnetism'', the mentioned ore, and related formulations. Other authorities have attributed the word origin to other sources. As set out in Pliny's ''Naturalis Historia'' ("Natural History"), an early encyclopedia published c. 77 CE – c. 79 CE, and as translated from the Latin in Robert Jacobus Forbes' ''Studies in Ancient Technology'', Pliny wrote the following (attributing the source of his information, in turn, to Nicander of Colophon): Nicander is our authority that it agnetite orewas called Magnes from the man who first discovered it on Mount Ida and he is said to have found it when the nails ...

Macarius Magnes
Macarius Magnes (), sometimes referred to as Macarius of Magnesia, is the author of a work of Christian apologetics contesting the writings of a Neo-Platonic philosopher. He was unknown for centuries until the discovery of a manuscript at Athens in 1867. This work is called () in Greek, and ''Apocriticus'' in Latin. It agrees in its dogmatics with Gregory of Nyssa, and is valuable on account of the numerous excerpts from the writings of the pagan opponent of Macarius. Macarius does not directly name the "Hellene" he is quoting from and criticizing, but it is most commonly speculated to be the philosopher Porphyry, who wrote a lost work called ''Against the Christians''. The other named possibility mentioned is Hierocles's the ''Lover of Truth''. It is also possible that whoever this opponent was, their name was lost to history and otherwise unrecorded in surviving documents. He may be the Macarius, bishop of Magnesia, who, at the Synod of the Oak in 403, brought charge ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
