A Eulogy of Baldness

on BBC Radio 3

by SYNESIUS OF CYRENI translated by AUGUSTINE FITZGERALD adapted by PETER BARNES Read by Derek Godfrey
Synesius of Cyrene was born in AD 370 and died in AD 414. Though a Christian prelate and neoplatonic philosopher, he was outstandingly a man of action, who farmed, hunted and waged war with bandits who ravaged the area. But he found time to keep up an informative correspondence with his friends, to compose verse and to write on rhetoric, science, philosophy and baldness.
