Eutyches

1701 engraving by Romeyn de Hooghe

Eutyches (Ancient Greek: Εὐτυχής; c. 380 – c. 456)[citation needed] or Eutyches of Constantinople[1] was a presbyter and archimandrite at Constantinople. He first came to notice in 431 at the First Council of Ephesus, for his vehement opposition to the teachings of Nestorius.[2] At the 448 Synod of Constantinople and the 451 Council of Chalcedon, Eutyches was condemned for having adopted an equally extreme, although opposite view. He himself, however, would reject this interpretation of his thought.
