PANTAENUS

This article appears in Volume V20, Page 682 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PAI-PAS
PANTAENUS , head of the catechetical school at Alexandria, C. A.D. 180-200, knowlt chiefly as having been the master of Clement, who succeeded him, and of Alexander,
bishop
  of Jerusalem. Clement speaks of him as the " Sicilian bee," but of his
birth
  and death nothing is known.
Eusebius
  and Jerome speak of him as having been, originally at least, a Stoic, and as having been sent, on account of his zeal and learning, as a missionary to " India." There is some reason to think that this means the Malabar
coast
 . There was a considerable intercourse between
south
  India and the
east
  Mediterranean at the time, and Christian thought possibly did something to mould the
great
 
system
  of Tamil philosophy known as the Saiva Siddhanta. Pantaenus " expounded the treasures of divine
doctrine
  both orally and in writing," but only a few brief reminiscences of his teaching are extant (see Routh, Rel. sac. i. 375-383). Lightfoot suggests that the conclusion of the well-known Epistle to Diognetus, chs. 11, 12, may be the
work
  of Pantaenus. Clement thought highly of his abilities, and Origen appeals to his authority in connexion with the inclusion of philosophy in the theological course.
