This article endeavours to verify neoplatonic tendancies in the metaphysics of Ammonius, son of Hermias, in Zacharias of Mytilenus’ dialogue named Ammonius. Until now, this dialogue has led researchers to believe that Ammonius was close to a Christian philosophy. But several items prove beyond doubt that the leader of the Alexandrian school remained faithful to pagan neoplatonicism, and particularly to the Proclusian differenciation between divine eternity and the world’s being eternal.
