Eunapius

His principal surviving work is the Lives of Philosophers and Sophists (Ancient Greek: Βίοι Φιλοσόφων καὶ Σοφιστῶν; Latin: Vitae sophistarum), a collection of the biographies of 24 philosophers and sophists.

Back in his native city he studied under his relative, the sophist Chrysanthius.

[3] There is evidence that he was still living in the reign of Theodosius II as he mentions an event that happened in 414 AD.

[7] The style of both works is marked by a spirit of bitter hostility to Christianity.

[6] The Lives of Philosophers and Sophists consists of the biographies of the following philosophers and sophists: Plotinus, Porphyry, Iamblichus, Aedesius the Cappadocian, Maximus, Priscus, Chrysanthius, Epigonus, Beronicianus, Julian of Cappadocia, Prohaeresius, Epiphanius, Diophantus the Arab, Sopolis, Himerius, Parnasius, Libanius, Acacius, Nymphidianus, Zeno of Cyprus, Magnus, Oribasius, Ionicus, and Theon.
