ABSTRACT
Theodoret’s apologetical work A Cure of Greek Maladies (Helle¯niko¯n therapeutike¯ pathe¯mato¯n), or Graecarum affectionum curatio, is one of the best Christian answers to pagan philosophy, yet surprisingly one of his most neglected writings. Although he quotes more than one hundred secular writers and both his eloquence and argumentation are second to none, apart from Gaisford’s commendable critical edition1 there were no major scholarly attempts to bring this remarkable Christian apology to an English-speaking readership. In fact the only full-length translation in a modern language (French) is that of Pierre Canivet, who published the latest critical edition for Sources Chrétiennes.2
