		So, the monastic life for Evagrius is not only the struggle to rid the self of all evil and ignorance, but also the monk is to establish in the soul virtue and knowledge, through prayer and contemplation.
		Evagrius may have been the intellectual forebearer of the hesychast tradition, with his emphasis on pure intellectual contemplation and strict asceticism aimed at freeing the monk from passions to attain 'apatheia'.
		Since Evagrius was condemned by the Fifth Ecumenical Council in 553, for his Origenist thought and some of his more speculative writings, many people fail to recognize the influence of Evagrian spirituality on the more Orthodox theologians that followed.

		It is certain that the council opened on 5 May, 553, in spite of the protestations of Pope Vigilius, who though at Constantinople refused to attend it, and that in the eight conciliary sessions (from 5 May to 2 June), the Acts of which we possess, only the question of the Three Chapters is treated.

		According to Evagrius, water sprinkled from the Edessan icon brought about an instantaneous conflagration; however, it is self-evident that had the tunnel timber really been doused with water, the chances of starting a fire would only have decreased and, consequently, the Evagrius account has been described as both "fanciful"
