I wanted to share this with people, 'cause I think it deserves to be more widely read (not just by Hellenic's either).
It's Edward Butler's Henadology site (http://henadology.wordpress.com/), his dissertation 'The Metaphysics of Polytheism in Proclus' is really recommended by a lot of people, it seems to be really popular amongst members of YSEE, and I like it, from what I've read so far anyway, now, some of what he writes goes over my head, so, that's why it's taking me ages to just get past the first few pages, but, I think it's still quite cool. You can download it from this page (http://henadology.wordpress.com/philosophy/), and he's written other articles of interest too. If you have trouble downloading the dissertation as I did, send him a message on his site, using the leave a reply section and he'll get back to you by the next day (at least, he did with me), and he'll be very helpful in getting it to you. I've spoken with him on other forums, and he's very knowledgable about Polytheism, ancient Hellenic Philosophy and theology, etc.
Anyway, I just wanted to mention him 'cause I don't think there is a thread on him here, and I think his site will be a great resource to the Hellenic community, and, IMO, the Pagan community at large.
