The Three Bishops and Eudoxia
View through CrossRef
Abstract
Any analysis of the forces that brought down John Chrysostom must start with the group whom all sources show to have been the active organizers at Constantinople of the machinations to bring him down, the three bishops, Severianus, Antiochus, and Acacius, and the empress Eudoxia. The role of the bishops was that of a group of lobbyists determined, partly no doubt from personal motives, to keep the grievance of a much wider range of ecclesiastics before the eyes of the emperor and his ministers. Eudoxia performed the vital role of a link between the dissatisfied clerics and the palace.
