Headword: *(omoi/wsis
Adler number: omicron,314
Translated headword: assimilation, becoming like
Vetting Status: high

"['Becoming like' is] twofold: the one [that makes reference] to the same [form], and the one [that makes reference to] a different [form]." But when Plotinus says “becoming like a god”, it should be taken in a different way.[1]
Greek Original:
*(omoi/wsis ditth/, h( me/n tis tau)to/n, h( de\ e(/teron. o(/te de\ le/gei *plwti=nos: o(moi/wsis qew=|, a)/llon tro/pon lhpte/on.
Notes:
For this headword see already omicron 313.
[1] cf. Plotinus Enneads, 1.2.2.4-10. According to Plotinus' text, it is plain that the word "form" (ei)=dos) should be assumed. In the passage at issue Plotinus says: "the one demands the presence of the same form in those things that are similar". See phi 238.
