Plethon was a Neoplatonist who mixed Plato with late antique mysticism, Proclus, and Eastern (Persian/Zoroastrian) ideas. He rejected the medieval Christian-Aristotelian synthesis and dreamed of a revived Hellenic civilisation — sometimes called “the last Hellene” or “the first modern Greek.”Why he matters in conventional history
He is one of the key bridges between late Byzantine scholarship and the Italian Renaissance. Without Plethon’s Florence lectures, the Western “rediscovery” of Plato might have happened much later or differently.In Fomenko’s reconstruction, this entire rich 15th-century life is the original that was split and projected backwards to create the “ancient” Plato and Plotinus.That’s the full picture — Fomenko’s specific identification plus the detailed historical biography of Pletho.
Comprehensive info on the real historical figure: Georgios Gemistos Plethon (c. 1355/1360 – 1452/1454)Full name and nickname
Born Georgios Gemistos (Γεώργιος Γεμιστός) in Constantinople. He later changed his surname to Plethon (Πλήθων) — a deliberate pun on Plato’s name — out of deep admiration for the philosopher. He is almost always called Gemistos Plethon or simply Pletho in Western sources.Early life and education Born into a wealthy, educated Orthodox Christian family in Constantinople (modern Istanbul).
Studied the standard Byzantine curriculum (trivium + quadrivium) in Constantinople and Adrianople (Edirne).
Spent time at the Ottoman court in Adrianople, where he may have encountered Islamic and Eastern mystical ideas (some later critics claimed this influenced his thought).
Around 1400–1410 he moved to Mistra (Mystras) in the Peloponnese (the Byzantine Despotate of the Morea), which became his lifelong base. Mistra was a major cultural centre — a “second Constantinople” — and Plethon turned it into a hub of philosophical teaching.
Career and influence at the Byzantine court Served as advisor and consultant on social/governmental reform to Emperors Manuel II Palaeologus and John VIII Palaeologus.
Founded a private philosophical school/academy in Mistra where he taught Neoplatonism blended with elements of Zoroastrianism, mysticism, and pagan revivalism.
He openly preferred Plato over Aristotle (very controversial in Byzantine circles, where Aristotle dominated theology).
The Council of Florence (1438–1439) — his biggest historical impact At age ~78–83, he accompanied the Byzantine delegation (as a lay theologian, not clergy) to the Council of Ferrara–Florence, the last major attempt to reunite the Eastern and Western Churches.
Instead of focusing on theology, he spent his time lecturing Florentine humanists (including Cosimo de’ Medici) on Plato.
These lectures are credited with directly inspiring Cosimo to found the Platonic Academy in Florence — the cradle of Renaissance Platonism.
He brought (or re-introduced) many previously unknown or forgotten Greek manuscripts of Plato and the Neoplatonists to Italy.
Major works On the Differences Between Plato and Aristotle (1439) — a fierce attack on Aristotelianism and defence of Plato. It sparked a huge philosophical debate across Europe.
The Laws (Νόμοι) — his magnum opus, a utopian political/philosophical treatise modelled directly on Plato’s Laws. It proposed a pagan-inspired ideal state with sun worship, reincarnation, and a new calendar. After his death, Patriarch Gennadios Scholarios burned most copies as heretical/pagan; only fragments survive.
Commentaries on Aristotle’s logic, Porphyry, and other works.
Defence of the Orthodox doctrine on the Procession of the Holy Spirit.
Various treatises on geography, history, and Zoroastrian “Chaldaean Oracles.”
Death and legacy Died in Mistra in 1452 or 1454 (aged ~92–99).
Buried in Mistra. In 1465 his remains were moved to Rimini (Italy) by Sigismondo Malatesta and placed in the Tempio Malatestiano; the inscription calls him “Themistius Byzantinus.”
Disciples included Cardinal Bessarion (who carried on the Platonic revival in Italy).
Later critics (especially George of Trebizond and Gennadios) accused him of outright paganism and trying to revive ancient Greek religion under a Christian veneer.
