Philo of Alexandria, also known as Philo Judaeus, was a Hellenistic Jewish philosopher who lived in the first century BCE and first century CE. He is best known for his work in blending Greek philosophy with Jewish religious traditions. Philo's writings covered a wide range of topics including ethics, theology, and biblical exegesis. He is particularly known for his allegorical interpretations of the Hebrew Bible, seeking to reconcile the teachings of Judaism with the ideas of Greek philosophy, especially Platonism. Philo's work had a significant impact on subsequent Christian and Jewish thought, as his ideas were influential in the development of both early Christian theology and Rabbinic Judaism. Despite this influence, Philo's works were largely forgotten for centuries before experiencing a revival of interest in the modern era.
