	Council of Chalcedon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Dioscorus held his own synod reinstating Eutyches, and the emperor called a council to be held in Ephesus in 449, inviting Pope Leo I, who agreed to be represented by three legates.
		All this changed dramatically with the death of Theodosius II and the elevation of Marcian to the imperial throne, for Marcian was a defender of the doctrine of Flavian and Leo.
		Paschanius refused to give Dioscorus (who had carried out an excommunication of the pope in the period leading up to the council) a seat at the council, and as a result, he was moved to the nave of the church.

	Dioscorus I of Alexandria - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dioscorus presided, and next to him Julian and Hilarius, the papal legates, then Juvenal of Jerusalem, Domnus II of Antioch, and – his lowered position indicating what was to come – Flavian of Constantinople.
		Dioscorus proposed that the doctrinal decisions of the Council of Ephesus of 431, in its first and sixth sessions, with those of Nicaea, should be recognized as an unalterable standard of orthodoxy; that whoever should say or think otherwise, should be put under censure.
		First was the fall of his patron Chrysaphius in the summer of 450; next was the death of Theodosius II, and the marriage of the orthodox Pulcheria, sister of Theodosius, to Marcian, enabling her to push for the new council that met at Chalcedon on October 8, 451.

		Originally a deacon of Alexandria, he became a member of the Roman clergy, and the leader of the Byzantine party in Rome, opposing the Gothic party which Pope Felix IV favored.
		The latter with a view to averting a contest for the papacy, had taken the unprecedented step of appointing his successor, upon whose accession as Boniface II the majority of the Roman clergy elected the anti-pope Dioscorus.
		Fortunately the schism was of short duration, for Dioscorus died the same year, and his supporters submitted to Boniface.

		On his return from a business trip, Dioscorus ordered that a tower be built for his daughter away from influences of the new religion that was slowly encroaching into Roman society, to prevent her from indulging in her habit of helping the poor, and to keep her away from undesirable suitors.
		Dioscorus had contempt for this scruffy movement, but beyond his personal prejudice was the political reality that any association with the outlawed religion would hurt his grain business.
		While her soul was being borne by the Angels to Paradise, a flash of lightning struck Dioscorus and Marcian, the civil prefect, and both were summoned in haste to the judgment-seat of God.

		Dioscorus falsely claimed to simply be adhering to the teachings of Saint Cyril---while at the same time he actually departed from the teachings of the saint significantly.

		Dioscorus seeing now a chance of humbling the archbishop of Constantinople, joined Eutyches in a request to the emperor to call a general council.
		Some insisted that this meant that the council should first declare its faith; but Dioscorus interpreted it to mean not that the faith should first be declared, for this the former council had already done, but rather that they were to consider which of the parties agreed with what the true faith explains.
		Dioscorus asked: "Is the doctrine that there are two natures after the incarnation to be tolerated?" Aloud the council replied: "Accursed be he who says so." Again Dioscorus cried: "I have your voices, I must have your hands.

		Dioscorus learning this, called a synod of ten bishops in Alexandria, and solemnly excommunicated Leo, bishop of Rome, for presuming to judge anew, and annul what had already been judged and finally determined by a general council.
		Dioscorus was not afraid of anything, not even the terrors of an orthodox church council, and without the least sign of intimidation or fear, he boldly confronted the whole host of his adversaries.
		Following this, Dioscorus was charged with enormous crimes, with lewdness and debauchery to the great scandal of his flock; with styling himself the king of Egypt, and attempting to usurp the sovereignty.

		Both the poetry he wrote for special occasions and the documents he produced in his legal career, in Greek and Coptic, reflect the major preoccupations of Dioscorus' society and his age: the nature of Byzantine imperial government, the patronage of the powerful elite, and the spirituality of the Egyptian Christian church.
		She reveals the man and his world as inheritors of and contributors to the Egyptian-Classical-Christian fusion of society and intellectual life that gave birth to Gnosticism and the Desert Fathers.
		Dioscorus of Aphrodito epitomizes the little-known cultural flowering of late antique Egypt, which is now seen not as a place of sterility and decadence, but as the home of a strikingly original and creative culture whose subsequent eclipse still remains unexplained.
