	Maximus of Constantinople - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Maximus, also known as Maximus I or Maximus the Cynic, was a cynic professor and the intrusive bishop of Constantinople in 380, whence he became a rival of Gregory Nazianzus.
		The simple-hearted Gregory was completely duped by Maximus, even delivering a panegyrical oration, in the man's own presence in full church, before the celebration of the Eucharist, inviting him to stand by his side and receive the crown of victory.
		The magistrates appeared with their officers; Maximus and his consecrators were driven from the cathedral, and in the tenement of a flute-player the tonsure was completed.

		The end and aim of the Cynic philosophy, as indeed of every philosophy, is happiness, but happiness that consists in living according to nature, and not according to the opinions of the multitude.
		In his oration "To the Cynic Heracleios," he develops the subject of myth, and shows that myth is most properly used in presenting recondite teaching (the Mysteries).

		Since the same Maximus was discovered to be holding the beliefs of Apollinaris, he was also anathematized by the Council in addition.

		In pursuit of this goal, Bishop Peter II of Alexandria (373-80/81) sent a group of Egyptian bishops to Constantinople under the escort of a mob of Alexandrian sailors, and commissioned them to elect a creature of his own, named Maximus the Cynic, to the Constantinopolitan bishopric.
		Peter's scheme failed because of the firmness of the people of the capital and of the Emperor Theodosius Î, who ruled, as we can see in the fourth canon of the Council of Constantinople, that Maximus had never been bishop, and that all his acts were null and void.
		The fourth canon, in turn, was a specific application of the second of the same Council, which forbade bishops to interfere in the business of churches outside their own dioceses, and commanded the bishop of Alexandria to confine his activity to the church of Egypt.
