Autogenes
Gnostic deity of Barbelo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Sethian Gnosticism, Autogenes (Meaning "Self-Born One" in Greek) is an emanation or son of Barbelo (along with Kalyptos and Protophanes according to Zostrianos).[1] Autogenes is mentioned in Nag Hammadi texts such as Zostrianos, The Three Steles of Seth, Allogenes the Stranger, and Marsanes.[2]
Autogenes in Gnosticism is roughly parallel to the Platonic soul.[3]
