CHRYSANTHIUS

This article appears in Volume V06, Page 319 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CHR-CLI
CHRYSANTHIUS , a Greek philosopher of the 4th
century
  A.D., of the school of Iamblichus. He was one of the favourite pupils of Aedesius, and devoted himself mainly to the mystical side of Neoplatonism (q.v.). The emperor
Julian
  (q.v.) went to him by the advice of Aedesius, and subsequently invited him to come to
court
 , and assist in the projected resuscitation of Hellenism. But Chrysanthius declined on the strength of unfavourable omens, as he said, but probably because he realized that the
scheme
  was unlikely to
bear
  fruit, For the same reason he abstained from drastic religious reforms in his capacity as high-priest of
Lydia
 . As a result of his moderation, he remained high-priest till his death, venerated alike by Christians and pagans. His wife Melite, who was associated with him in the priestly office, was a kinswoman of
Eunapius
  the biographer.
