And lately, by the Tavern Door agape,
Came shining through the Dusk an Angel Shape
Bearing a Vessel on his Shoulder; and
He bid me taste of it; and 'twas--the Grape!

I'm also partial to the Neoplatonist arts of magic attack & defense
![excerpt from Porphyry's Life of Plotinus:
"Among those with pretensions to philosophy it was different:
Olympius of Alexandria, who had studied with Ammonius for a while,
5 wanted to be pre-eminent as a philosopher and hated him. He used
magic to attack him, trying to get him star-struck. When he realized
that the attempt had only rebounded on himself, he said to his acquaintances that the power of Plotinus’ soul was so great that he could deflect
attacks made against him onto those who were trying to do him harm.
10 Plotinus for his part was aware of Olympius’ efforts, and said that his
body then felt like ‘a purse being drawn shut’ [Symp. 190d], his limbs
being pressed together. Olympius saw that he would suffer much worse
things himself than anything he could hope to do to Plotinus, and gave
up trying."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cz6amc534dzz3rre7wqzxln7/bafkreiforsjpze3siqe6wewv52tu7sartfxvqvqyc5usuulvr4noggfoxq@jpeg)
