In this presentation, I explore how Marsilio Ficino’s fear of inquisitorial scrutiny influenced his portrayal of polytheism. Ficino was subjected to Papal investigation after he published Three Books of Life due to the work’s portrayal of magic. This paper argues that the threat of inquisition led him to obscure his polytheistic cosmology, central to his magical praxis, particularly in his Platonic Theology. Ficino based his cosmological model on Plato’s concept of the 'One,' which preserved the autonomy of Greek deities. However, Ficino aligned his language with Christian monotheism to avoid persecution. His inclusion of Orphic hymns and his treatment of gods and goddesses, such as Jupiter and Nemisis, demonstrates Ficino’s cautious integration of ancient polytheism in a Christian intellectual theater. I hope to reframe Ficino’s work within the context of polytheism. I urge a reconsideration of the legacy of Platonism and challenge the traditional Christian-centric interpretation of the philosophy.
