Eunomius of Cyzicus

Eunomius Cyzicenus

Biography

Of Cappadocian origin, Eunomius was secretary to Aetius, then the Bishop of Cyzicus in 360 and a leader of Anomoeanism, a radical form of Arianism. His First Apology, written in 361, was refuted by Basil of Caesarea in 363-364, which led him to write a Second Apology in 378. In 383 he wrote a Profession of Faith, at the request of Emperor Theodosius. These are the only writings left of his vast literary output.
