"I feel awe of the gods, I love, I revere, I venerate them, and in short have precisely the same feelings towards them as one would have towards kind masters or teachers or fathers or guardians or any beings of that sort."- To The Cynic Heracleios by Julian Flavius
Emperor Julian Flavius, known as Julian the Apostate by Christians, was an Emperor who tried to restore the Pagan cults of ancient Rome amidst the Christian rule of his family, the Constantinians. He favored the metaphysical doctrines of Plato and his students, including the practice of theurgy and magic. He was well acquainted with some of the last magicians and philosophers, who helped him understand the deep inner-truths of the Roman tradition. He was a part of many Mystery Religions such as the Cult of Mithras which certainly inspired his panegyric: Hymn to King Helios. He was mortally injured during a campaign on the Sassanid Empire and like Socrates, he philosophized about the Gods until his death.
