Hi, Ric -
You might want to take a look at Michael Chase’s
* Studies in pre-Platonic demiurgy :
The case of Pherecydes of Syros*
by Michael Chase, available as a free download
(after “signing up” (free)) at Academia.Edu :
( Download .PDF )

I also second Mogg’s suggestion that you take a look
at the emanative procession of the Egyptian Ennead
for parallels with Plato and the Pre-Socratics.
