A Greek bishop, philosopher, and poet; born in Cyrene, Africa, about 375; died about 415. He studied philosophy in Alexandria under Hypatia. Among his works which have survived are several essays, including one "On Dreams"; and a number of orations, among them that delivered before the Emperor Arcadius, "On Kingship". His hymns have often been translated into modern languages.
