Eutyches - ܐܘܛܘܟܐ
http://syriaca.org/person/482
Eutyches was a
controversial and polemical monastic teacher active in Constantinople in the
early fifth century. He opposed dyophysite (two-nature) Christology, but the
precise nature of his own one-nature Christology is uncertain. He was
condemned in 448 at a synod, restored in 449 at the Second Council of
Ephesus, and
condemned again at the Council of Chalcedon where he was
championed by the Syriac monk Barsauma. In later theological discussions, Eutyches'
one-nature Christology was equally condemned by Chalcedonian theologians and
the Coptic and Syriac Orthodox Churches.
