Abstract

No De Mysteriis, Jâmblico inova o uso dos termos symbolon e synthêma aplicando-os no contexto do ritual teúrgico para se referir a símbolos que habilitam uma conexão ontológica com o divino. Portanto, para compreender a defesa de Jâmblico da Teurgia é fundamental que se entenda o uso que ele faz desse vocabulário. Este artigo busca evidenciar se há na obra nuances que distinguam os termos symbolon e synthêma e em que medida os símbolos teúrgicos se articulam por meio de imagens e representações (εἰκόνας).
