Person

Eutyches

condemned 448, restored 449, condemned 451

Archimandrite in Constantinople

Attested. The synodal record of 448 preserves his answers.

Eutyches was an elderly abbot who denied that Christ is consubstantial with us in his humanity, or at least refused the phrase 'two natures' after the incarnation. Flavian condemned him. Ephesus II restored him. Chalcedon condemned him again. He is the name later attached to 'Eutychianism,' a position cruder than most anti-Chalcedonian theology.
