HIEROCLES

This article appears in Volume V13, Page 453 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: HEG-HIG
HIEROCLES , proconsul of
Bithynia
  and
Alexandria
 , lived during the reign of
Diocletian
  (A.D. 284-305). He is said to have been the instigator of the fierce persecution of the Christians under Galerius in 303. He was the author of a
work
  (not extant) entitled Xoyoc cf tAaXilOac irpos roes Xpcvrcavous in two books, in which he endeavoured to persuade the Christians that their sacred books were full of contradictions, and that in moral
influence
  and miraculous
power
  Christ was inferior to Apollonius of Tyana. Our knowledge of this treatise is derived from Lactantius (Instil. div. v. 2) and
Eusebius
 , who wrote a refutation entitled 'AvrcppnruOis irpos ra 'IEpoeXEovt.
