Eusebius of Myndus

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Eusebius of Myndus was a 4th century AD philosopher, a distinguished Neoplatonist, and a pupil of Aedesius of Pergamum who lived in the time of Julian, (ruled 361-363 AD). He is described by Eunapius as one of the "Golden Chain" of Neoplatonism. He ventured to criticize the magical and theurgic side of the doctrine, and exasperated the emperor, who preferred the mysticism of Maximus and Chrysanthius. He devoted himself principally to logic. Stobaeus collected a number of ethical dicta of one Eusebius, who may perhaps be identical with the Neoplatonist.
