Impassibility of God in Ancient Greek Philosophy: Was there a Consensus?

The paper analyzes views of ancient Greek philosophers concerning impassibility of God. It is demonstrated that impassibility of God has been maintained as one of his main attributes within philosophical theology of antiquity in spite of obvious differences between philosophical schools themselves. One may not reduce this view solely to the common critique of anthropomorphism of gods of mythology.
