	Cyzicus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cyzicus (Greek: Κύζικος) was an ancient town of Mysia in Asia Minor, situated on the shoreward side of the present peninsula of Kapu-Dagh (Arctonnesus), which is said to have been originally an island in the Sea of Marmara, and to have been artificially connected with the mainland in historic times.
		Cyzicus was held for the Romans against king Mithridates VI of Pontus who besieged it with 300,000 men in 74 B.C., but it withstood him stoutly, and the siege was raised by Lucullus: the loyalty of the city was rewarded by an extension of territory and other privileges.
		Cyzicus is still a metropolitan title for the Greek Orthodox, the metropolitan residing at Artake (Erdek), a little port on the western shore of the peninsula.

	Eunomius of Cyzicus
		On the recommendation of Eudoxius he was appointed bishop of Cyzicus in 360.
		Here his free utterance of extreme Arian views led to popular complaints, and Eudoxius was compelled, by command of the emperor, Constantius II, to depose him from the bishopric within a year of his elevation to it.
		During the reigns of Julian and Jovian, Eunomius resided in Constantinople in close intercourse with Aetius, consolidating an heretical party and consecrating schismatical bishops.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Eunomianism
		Radical and uncompromising in their heretical thinking, they asserted that in substance and in all else the Son is unlike the Father: animoios, "unlike", became their watchword as against the homoousios of the Orthodox, the homoiousios of the Semi-Arians, and the later homoios of the Acacians.
		Eunomius died about 395, and for all practical purposes the sect may be said to have died with him.
		The works of Eunomius are of less importance in themselves than in the fact that they called forth the best efforts of St. Basil and St.

		Let some one then persuade Eunomius to bridle his tongue, and not give the rein to such wild talk, nor kick against the pricks in the insolent abuse of an honoured name; but to allow the mere remembrance of Basil to fill his soul with reverence and awe.
		Cyzicus was selected for him by the umpires of his party as the reward of his extravagance.
		To Eunomius indeed it is no small advantage that the discussion should linger upon such points, and that the indictment of his offences against man should delay our approach to his graver sins.

		Some assert that Eunomius was the first who ventured to maintain that divine baptism ought to be performed by one immersion, and to corrupt, in this manner, the apostolical tradition which has been carefully handed down to the present day.
		Eunomius, it is added, dwelt with Aëtius, and never deviated from his original sentiments.
		But when Eunomius was raised to the church of Cyzicus in place of Eleusius, he could no longer quietly restrain himself, and in open debate he brought forward again the tenets of Aëtius.

	Eunomius: The First Apology. Introduction to the online text
		Eunomius of Cyzicus was a leader in the second wave of Arianism, which took place after the First Council of Nicaea.
		Eunomius was considered to be a heresiarch, and his work has been placed in the appendix for this reason.
		This however omits the confession of faith which forms chapter 28 in the manuscripts: this is to be found in the middle of a mass of creeds, given in Greek and English, in middle of volume 4, pp.

		Eunomius' life is used as a framework within which to discuss changes in the doctrine of the Trinity.
		Richard Vaggione argues that the process of doctrinal change is not exclusively the task of the religious 'professional' but of the Christian community as a whole, involving a prolonged dialogue between nave and pulpit leading finally to a new doctrinal and devotional synthesis.
		Eunomius (died c.393), one of the leaders of the extreme or "anomoean" Arians, who are sometimes accordingly called Eunomians, was born at Dacora in Cappadocia early in the 4th century.

	Basil of Caesarea
		A lasting monument of his episcopal care for the poor was the great institute before the gates of Caesarea, which was used as poorhouse, hospital, and hospice.
		The principal theological writings of Basil are his De Spiritu Sancto, a lucid and edifying appeal to Scripture and early Christian tradition, and his Refutation of the Apology of the Impious Eunomius, written in 363 or 364, three books against Eunomius of Cyzicus, the chief exponent of Anomoian Arianism.
		The first three books of the Refutation are his work; the fourth and fifth books that are usually included to do not belong to Basil, or to Apollinaris of Laodicea[?], but probably to Didymus of Alexandria.

		I was not, however, particularly satisfied with the theories developed to explain it; in a rash moment, therefore, I decided to try to look at the evidence afresh-to read as much of the surviving ancient literature by as possible with as fresh an eye as possible.
		I have thus tried to take Eunomius, his supporters and critics, as thinkers in their own right, but also as persons who together might give us a new perspective on the controversy as a whole.
		This book, then, is about Eunomius; but just because of who he was and when he lived it touches on the full range of people and events that made up the 'Nicene Revolution'.

		The bishop of Constantinople being informed of these circumstances, constituted Eunomius bishop of Cyzicus, inasmuch as he was a person able by his eloquence to win over the minds of the multitude to his own way of thinking.
		On his arrival at Cyzicus an imperial edict was published in which it was ordered that Eleusius should be ejected, and Eunomius installed in his place.
		All other works of his extant are of a similar character, in which he that would take the trouble to examine them, would find a great scarcity of sense, amidst a profusion of verbiage.

	Gregory of Nyssa [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		That period was launched by the publication of his Against Eunomius, Gregory's four-book refutation of that last phase of the Arian heresy.
		By Gregory's day, the leading spokesman for Arian theology was Eunomius of Cyzicus, who argued for Arianism on strictly philosophical grounds.
		Gregory counters Eunomius, not by simply staking out the opposite position and defending it with Scriptural artillery, as most of his fellow Nicenes had done, but, more interestingly, by repudiating the central presupposition of Eunomian theology—that one can derive by a process of analysis concepts that are essentially predicated of God.

		He refutes the arguments of Eunomius almost word for word, and amply proves that he is very ignorant of outside knowledge and still more so of our religion.
		He does not traverse all the arguments of Eunomius, but chiefly attacks and refutes those which appear to contain the most essential points of his heresy.
		He chiefly extols Aetius and Eunomius for their learning, as having alone cleansed the doctrines of faith overlaid by time, therein showing himself a monstrous liar.

	Augsburg Confession, Article One: Of God
		Using Greek terms, it denies that the Son is of one essence, nature, or substance with God; He is not consubstantial (homoousios) with the Father, and therefore not like Him, or equal in dignity, or co-eternal, or within the real sphere of Deity.
		The Eunomians, named after Eunomius of Cyzicus, believed that the name "Ungenerated" was the only proper name for God the Father; all other beings were generated, including the Son, who was adopted.
		This doctrine led to a radical form of Arianism in which the Son is not only unequal to, but also unlike, the Father.

	Cappadocia: St Basil
		The new Arian force was considerable more formidable than Arius and his cohorts had ever been.
		Aetius and his disciple Eunomius were astute logicians and had minds like steel traps.
		(Significantly there are reports from the period, relating how tedious and detailed Eunomius could get in his preaching.) The argument of the Neo-Arians was simple and syllogistic.

		His battle, like that of the other two great Cappadocians was especially against the later Neo-Arian movement headed by Aetius of Antioch and later Eunomius of Cyzicus, as well as imperial intrigues and unruly mobs, which for the quiet, reserved and melancholy Gregory were a source of enormous torment.
		John’s Prologue to his Gospel and Symeon’s Hymns of Divine Love are both powerful poetic works which also powerfully express the deepest truths of the christian faith.
		In Gregory’s day, the Arians were followers of Eunomius, who was known for his tedious logical syllogistic sermons.

		He is said to be still living in Cappadocia, and to write much against the church.

		As an important representative of Arianism, he has provided unique insight into the world of Arius's followers, recognizing their continuation of his work and their criticism of it.

	Arianism Summary
		Many were content to avoid substance language or affirm a "like substance" (homoiousios) between the Father and the Son, maintaining a traditional hierarchy of being and action.
		Aetius and Eunomius, often called "Neo-Arians," were the most strenuous opponents of Nicene theology; they argued that the Father and Son must be dissimilar in nature since the divine essence was "unbegun," and insisted this description was fully revelatory of God.
		These varied opponents of Nicaea thinkers did not describe themselves as followers of Arius; rather, they were tagged with his condemnation by opponents, such as Athanasius and Marcellus of Ancyra, in order to discredit their theological positions.

	Early Christian Studies : University of Notre Dame
		In this seminar, I would like to look closely at the development of the classical Christian understanding of God in the fourth and early fifth centuries, by reading both selected examples of contemporary scholarly discussion and the main original texts, in translation, that offer us access to the period.
		After an introductory session, my tentative plan is to spend the semester discussing texts of the following authors: Arius and his supporters; Marcellus of Ancyra and Eusebius of Caesaraea; Athanasius of Alexandria; Hilary of Poitiers; Eunomius of Cyzicus and the "Neo-Arians"; the three Cappadocian Fathers; Ambrose of Milan; and Augustine of Hippo's De Trinitate.
		With the help of contemporary scholarship and of our own discussion, we will try to identify continuities and differences, and to reflect on the relevance of these ancient debates for the Church's continuing proclamation of the Mystery of God.

		None of the remains of Theodore throw such important light upon his Christology.
		Works that have not survived as well include: his de Apollinario et eius Haeresi and other polemics against Apollinarianism; and a separate polemic against Eunomius of Cyzicus, professing to be a defense of Basil of Caesarea.
		Photius mentions that Theodore wrote three books on "Persian Magic", which not only attacked Zoroastrianism, but according to Photius betrayed his "Nestorian" views in the third book, and even advanced the startling theory of a final restoration of all men.
