Athenodorus Greek language Greek , also known as Athenogenes Greek , was Patriarch of Constantinople Bishop of Byzantium from 144 until 148 . During his years of office, which was at the time when the city was administrated by Zeuxippus tyrant Zeuxippus , there was a significant increase of the Christian population. Athenodorus commissioned the construction of a second cathedral in Elaea , which was later renovated by Emperor Constantine I , who wanted to be buried there.

notability Books date June 2010 Byzantium s Crown is a 1987 alternate history novel with fantasy elements by Susan Shwartz . It is the first volume in the trilogy Heirs to Byzantium , which also includes Queensblade and The Woman of Flowers . The novel s plot concerns dynastic power struggles in a history in which Mark Antony defeated Octavius who never became Augustus in the Battle of Actium . The book s assumption is that thereupon Antony and Cleopatra established the centre of their power in the city of Byzantium , which thus became an Imperial capital several hundred years earlier than in our history. In practice, the Empire depicted in the book is quite similar to the Byzantine Empire of our history, except that it is Pagan and Christianity has never appeared, or at least never gained importance.

Saint Metrophanes was the bishop of Byzantium from 306 to 314. He may have retired from his episcopacy and died as late as 326. There is a tradition that, before his death, the Emperor Constantine I bestowed upon him the honorary title of Patriarch however, Byzantium did not become the capital of the Empire until 330 when it was renamed New Rome or Constantinople , and the Episcopal see see was not elevated to a patriarchate until 451. Metrophanes I could not partake in the first Ecumenical Council , which was held at Nicaea city Nicaea , due to age and ill health he was already bedridden . He sent instead Alexander of Constantinople Alexander , the first among his presbyters , an honest man, whom he destined as his successor. For it is said that, when the First Council of Nicaea Council had ended and the king with the god bearing fathers returned, he was told by God that Alexander, and after him Paul I of Constantinople Paul , pleased God, and are good for this position. Metrophanes has been canonized a saint , and is revered in both the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Roman Catholic Church . His feast day is June 4 .

Other uses Python disambiguation Python Python of Byzantium was an ancient Greek statesman and former student of Isocrates . In 346 BC, he appears to have participated in negotiations at Pella that resulted in the Peace of Philocrates . In 343 BC, Python represented Philip II of Macedon in Athens with an offer to alter the overall treaty. Hegesippus remarked that Python oratorically adhered to the instructions of his teachers in Athens implying that Isocrates was a supporter of Macedon since he retained some influence over Python . ref Natoli, Anthony Francis. The Letter of Speusippus to Philip II Introduction, Text, Translation and Commentary with an Appendix on the Thirty first Socratic Letter Attributed to Plato . Franz Steiner Verlag, 2004, ISBN 3515083960, p. 54. Among the pupils and former pupils of Isocrates three are known to have been associated with Philip. The first was Python of Byzantium, who appears to have been at Pella in 346 and may have played a role in the negotiations around the Peace of Philocrates. Then in 343, as we have seen, Python represented Philip in Athens with an offer to revise the Peace of Philocrates. On this occasion Hegesippus remarked pointedly that the orator was following the instructions of his schoolmasters in Athens. It is clear from this remark that Isocrates could be portrayed to the Athenian public as an outright supporter of Philip who retained some influence with his former pupil, Python. ref Based on Demosthenes s Against Aristocrates , Python of Byzantium was identified with Python of Aenus the latter of which killed King Cotys I Odrysian Cotys I of the Odrysia Odrysian Kingdom .

He is also credited with the Geodaesia , a work in practical geometry and ballistics which makes use of locations around Constantinople to illustrate its points. His Poliorketikon was an adaptation of an earlier c. 100 poliorcetic manual of Apollodorus of Damascus , but in place of the static two dimensional diagrams of that work, the Byzantine author has used a three dimensional perspective and scaled human figures to clarify the passages. Further, there are passages or techniques from Athenaeus Mechanicus , Philo of Byzantium and Biton . The translated manuscript in the Vatican Library consists of 58 folios and 38 colored illustrations.

NOTOC Stephen of Byzantium , also known as Stephanus Byzantinus Greek language Greek lang grc fl. 6th century AD , was the author of an important Gazetteer geographical dictionary entitled Ethnica lang grc . Of the dictionary itself only meagre fragments survive, but we possess an epitome compiled by one Hermolaus grammarian Hermolaus . Life File Byzantium550.png thumb right Byzantium during Stephanus lifetime Nothing is known about the life of Stephanus, except that he was a grammarian at Constantinople , and lived after the time of Arcadius and Honorius emperor Honorius , and before that of Justinian II . Later writers provide no information about him, but they do note that the work was later reduced to an epitome by a certain Hermolaus grammarian Hermolaus . Hermolaus dedicated his epitome to Justinian whether the first or second emperor of that name is meant is disputed, but it seems probable that Stephanus flourished in Byzantium in the earlier part of the sixth century AD, under Justinian I . The Ethnica Even as an epitome, the Ethnica is of enormous value for geographical, Greek mythology mythological , and Ancient Greek religion religious information about ancient Greece . Nearly every article in the epitome contains a reference to some ancient writer, as an authority for the name of the place. From the surviving fragments, we see that the original contained considerable quotations from ancient authors, besides many interesting particulars, topographical, historical, mythological, and others.
