| Julian | comment |
Julian is a 1964 historical novel by Gore Vidal.Seventeen years after Julian the Apostate, so-named for his efforts to revive Hellenistic paganism, was slain on the battlefield, Nicene Christianity has become the state religion. His old teacher Libanius bemoans this and proposes to Julian's old friend Priscus that they write a biography using Julian's unfinished memoir.The memoir, with margin notes by Libanius and Priscus, tells Julian's story covering his youth as a royal hostage to his ascension to Caesar and then Emperor. Despite early successes in his reign, Julian's headstrong and superstitious nature begins to affect his decisions, culminating in a disastrous invasion of the Sassanid Empire, and his death.The novel is known for its vivid detail in bringing the Ancient World to life, and especially for its portrayal of Roman society without the Hollywood History typical of most historical recreations. Indeed Vidal spent years researching the life of Julian and famously published a bibliography of reference material at the end of the text to serve as a guide to critics and scholars. | |

Book Smart | |
| Julian / int_1029541b | comment |
Book Smart: Julian is a voracious reader, to the extent he can cite the Christian texts better than almost any Christian thinker he meets. Nevertheless, Libanius and Priscus, who do genuinely admire Julian, occasionally cast doubt on Julian's true intelligence, implying that he was really something of an enthusiastic amateur in philosophy and couldn't hold his own against true intellectuals. Not that anyone was going to tell the Emperor of Rome that, of course. | |

| Julian / int_14e06eb9 | comment |
Jesus Was Crazy: Julian's view is that Jesus was just some guy who thought he was the Messiah. He acted out the prophetic requirements, such as riding into Jerusalem on a donkey, and eventually resorted to violence when nothing else worked. | |

The Social Expert | |
| Julian / int_176a6683 | comment |
The Social Expert: Julian is adept at impressing everyone at his court with his interactions, being able to act as wise and eloquent philosopher-emperor to his more scholastically inclined courtiers one minute, and to act as the amiable, fierce warrior-emperor to his generals the next. This is in contrast to Constantius. | |

End of an Age: The book highlights Julian's brief reign as the end of the Ancient World with Christianity setting a Reset Button and changing civilization forever. Hellenistic religion, despite Julian's fervent efforts to revive it, is in total decay and in the end it will die out. | |

Romanticism Versus Enlightenment | |
| Julian / int_351e7cf9 | comment |
Romanticism Versus Enlightenment: Vidal is firmly on the side of the Enlightenment with Libanius and Priscus essentially serving as stand-ins as critics of the Emperor Julian's romantic dreams of single-handedly restoring antiquity against the tide of history and society. In the end, Julian became the embodiment of the end of antiquity with all his plans and reforms overturned on his death, while Libanius realizes that the classic world of Hellenism and antiquity has lost to Christianity, but he takes hope in the expectation that one day Christianity too will decline and lose favor among the people, much like the Gods it had replaced: | |

Dropped a Bridge on Him | |
| Julian / int_43a045de | comment |
Dropped a Bridge on Him: Things look bad for poor Julian. As he spends his time writing letters to every senate he can think of, Constantius has the biggest army on Earth. Two of his legions desert him, and leave a fatal gap in his defense. Julian finds himself in despair, knowing that the gods have left him. And then Constantius dies of a fever. But not before making him his heir. Just like he did in real life. | |

Ambition Is Evil: Or at least, Ambition is Deadly. Julian triumphs repeatedly during his Persian campaign and almost gains a settlement with the Persians that would by even Maximus's admission be one of the greatest triumphs a Roman Emperor has won. But Maximus then plays on Julian's ambition to surpass Alexander, no settlement is reached, and Julian dies in Persia. | |

Death of the Old Gods: Hellenistic Religion, the Greek and Roman Pantheon are on their last legs.

Indeed when Julian dispatches a man to consult an Oracle at Delphi about whether his attempt to restore classicism will survive, the Oracle (called the Pythoness) states: | |
