Philosophers and Saints Summoned by the Same Truth 500 Years of Orthodox Iconographic Program
The research takes to account a series of murals found on the walls of some monasterys in Bucovina in the north of Romania: Humor (1530), Vorone(t) (1546) and Sucevi(t)a (1595). Their pictures depict some Greek heathen writers and philosophers, and also Sibyls—Sages of Antiquity (Socrates, Plato, Aristotel, Pythagoras, etc.)—who are asociated with the Tree of Jesse. This idea highlights the importance of classical philosophy for the development of Eastern Christian theology. The article attempts to explain how it became possible that these philosophers living hundreds of years before Christs incarnation, were so valued.
