"AUDIO CREATED AND PRODUCED FROM THE TRANSCRIPTION WITHIN THE THESIS ""AN ETYMOLOGICAL COMMENTARY ON CORNUTUS' EPIDROME BY JEREMY GUY ANSCOMBE 2005.
Lucius Annaeus Cornutus a Stoic philosopher, flourished in the reign of Nero (c. 60 AD), when his house in Rome was a school of philosophy.
His one major surviving work, the philosophical treatise, Theologiae Graecae compendium (""Compendium of Greek Theology"") is a manual of ""popular mythology as expounded in the etymological and symbolical interpretations of the Stoics""
The book continues in a similar vein, proceeding from such gods as Zeus, Hera, Cronus, and Poseidon, to the Furies, Fates, Muses, and Graces. The work is pervaded throughout with a strong undercurrent of Stoic Physics.
Clidophorus or Esoteric and Exoteric Philosophy by John Toland 1720 referenced this major surviving work under the title of the ""Phurnuti de natura deorum"" or the Nature of the Gods listed below.
