	Olympiodorus
		Olympiodorus of Thebes was a Greek pagan historian from Thebes in Egypt, and had an interest in geography which led him to travel widely.
		Olympiodorus described his work not as a history, but as source material for a history.
		Olympiodorus was frequently referenced by Zosimus, especially for the period between AD 400-425.

		Dexippus of Athens, Eunapius of Sardis and Olympiodorus of Thebes wrote the history of the Roman Empire in the third, fourth and fifth centuries A.D., respectively.
		Olympiodorus never cites Eunapius by name and no parallels have been detected and151; nor would they be expected to shine through Photius’ epitome.
		Olympiodorus did not, however, imitate Eunapius’ way of writing history, since among other things he abandoned the regnal structure, included much autobiographical detail and admitted Latinisms and technical jargon.

	Hierocles of Alexandria - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It enjoyed a great reputation in middle age and Renaissance times, and there are numerous translations in various European languages.
		Several other writings, especially one on providence and fate, a consolatory treatise dedicated to his patron Olympiodorus of Thebes, are quoted or referred to by Photius and Stobaeus.
		Though he nowhere mentions Christianity in his surviving works, his writings have been taken as an attempt at reconciliation between Greek religion traditions and the Christian beliefs he may have encountered in Constantinople [1].

		Olympiodorus of Thebes and the Sack of Rome
		This edition brings together all that can be recovered of the "Histories" of Olympiodorus of Thebes (circa 370-430).
		Olympiodorus's account of the sack of Rome is considered by far the best: it included an extended analysis of the political and military blunders which led up to it, and the slow recovery which followed.

	Sozomen (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		For the period from Theodosius I, Sozomen stopped following the work of Socrates and followed Olympiodorus of Thebes, who was probably Sozomen's only secular source.
		A comparison with Zosimus, who also made use of Olympiodorus, seems to show that the whole ninth book of Sozomen, is mostly an abridged extract from Olympiodorus.
		These include sources relating to Christianity in Persia, monkish histories, the Vita Martini of Sulpicius, the works of Hilarius, logoi of Eustathius of Antioch, the letter of Cyril of Jerusalem to Constantius concerning the miraculous vision of the cross, and Palladius.

		In this incursion, all Boeotia, and whatever countries of Greece the Barbarians passed through after their entrance at Thermopylae, were so ravaged, that the traces are visible to the present day.
		Thebes only was cxcepted, being preserved partly by its own strength, and partly by the impatience of Alaric to proceed to Athens, which prevented him from besieging this city.
		The Thebans having thus escaped, he advanced to Athens, expecting to take that city with ease, since by reason of its magnitude it could not easily be defended ; nor being contiguous to the Pyraeus could it, hold out long before it would be compelled to surrender.

		On Sozomen's date, there is indirect evidence in: Andrew Gillett, "The Date and Circumstances of Olympiodorus of Thebes," Traditio 48 (1993), pp.
		Gillett accepts the traditional date of composition for Sozomen of 449 or 450, but argues from internal evidence along with Frank Clover, convincingly I think, for a "late" date for Olympiodorus of "in or soon after 440 (p.
		12)." Since Sozomen used Olympiodorus, this would yield a terminus a quo for Sozomen of 440.

	Who were the Huns and how did they make such an impact in Europe?
		Apart from this seeming lack of interest in the Huns before they become directly involved with the Romans, another problem with many of the historians of this period is that they survive only in meagre amounts in the pages of other writers.
		R.C. Blockley collected together the fragments of four such historians — Eunapius of Sardis, Olympiodorus of Thebes, Priscus of Panium and Malchus of Philadelphia.
		These historians are of little help to us as almost all of what they say about the Huns is either semi-mythical or is already mentioned by Ammianus, who is consistently more reliable and complete.

	suggestions for reflection:
		An overland journey from the outskirts of Roman territory to Axum itself was roughly thirty days, a short period in antique travel terms.
		At the dawn of t he fifth century, Olympiodorus of Thebes made a portion of the journey himself, simply "for the purposes of research", and reported that the Blemmyes had control of an apparently extensive emerald mining operation.
		Axumite influence over that bu siness might already have been reality, as it certainly became during the following century.
