Eustathe de Thessalonique , in Greek old Εὐστάθιος / Byzantine Eustáthios (12th century), grammairien , died about 1198.

Eustathe lived under the reign of the emperors Manuel, Alexis II and Andronic Commène.

He was archbishop of Thessalonique.

He was according to the dictionary most erudite Bouillet grammairien of his time. Before being high with the episcopal see, he had been a Master of the speakers, C. - with-D. charged with explaining to the people the holy books, and had made known itself by many works.

He was a considered grammairien and wrote Commentaires ( Παρεκϐολαί / Parekbolaí ) of which most important is that on Homère, largely inspired of the Banquet of the sophists ( Deipnosophiste ) of Athénée, compilation of the philological contribution hellenistic. The other comment which reached us carries on Denys the Geographer, author of the Description of the world inhabited (4th century).

One has of him:

of the Comments on Iliade and the Odyssey , which contain extracts of the former Scholiastes (Rome; Basle, 1559; Leipzig, 1825 - 1830, 5 volumes);
of the Remarks on Denys Périégète (in the editions of Denys);
of the notes on Holy Jean Damascène ;
of the fragments of a Comment on Pindare ;
various Opuscules , published by Gottlieb Lukas Friedrich Tafel, Frankfurt, 1832.

One allotted wrongly the novel to him Ismène and Isménias , which is the work of Eumathius.
