Alan Cameron argues against the traditional view that the closure of the Academy in Athens in 529 AD by Justinian marked the end of pagan philosophy and the triumph of Christian thought. Instead, Cameron claims that pagan philosophy in Athens had been in decline since the death of Proclus in 485 AD, and the Christian influence from Alexandria and Gaza had been minimal. Cameron also points out that Philoponus, who is often regarded as the successor to Ammonius in Alexandria, did not teach philosophy but was a grammarian and theologian whose ideas had little influence on Christian education. Ultimately, Cameron asserts that the Academy's closure was not an act of euthanasia but rather the consequence of a long period of decline. [introduction]
