	Chrysanthius
		Chrysanthius was a Greek philosopher of the 4th century AD, of the school of Iamblichus.

	Eunapius, Lives of the Philosophers and Sophists (date) pp.319-341. Introduction
		He lived to see the decline of Greek studies so lamented by Libanius; the proscription of sacrifices to the gods, and the official abolition of paganism in 391; the invasion of Greece by Alaric, and the destruction of Eleusis in 395.
		His disciples Maximus and Chrysanthius 326 were professed miracle-workers, and the Emperor Julian's fanatical admiration for him and constant reference to him as inspired is the most striking evidence of the Apostate's easy credulity.
		CHRYSANTHIUS, the pupil of Aedesius, whom he seems to have closely resembled in character, is the only rival of Prohaeresius in the affection and loyalty of Eunapius.

		Chrysanthius trembled, and refused to go; the more ambitious Maximus declared it unworthy of a wise man to yield to the first adverse sign, and went.

	Bertonneau - Julian and Intellectualism
		No philosopher in the strict sense, Maximus disdained dialectic, a propensity that distinguished him from other favorites of Julian, such as Chrysanthius and Priscus, whose common doctrine appears to have been a pure nominalism: a redeeming truth exists in the form of a luminous syllogism.
		Where Chrysanthius and Priscus venerated intelligence, Maximus affected a rhetorical apotheosis of will.
		Eunapius records how Maximus once told Chrysanthius that a "learned man" (441) should assume as his goal "to wrestle with the heavenly powers" (441).
