Eutychès

Eutychès , Greek Hérésiarque, was Archimandrite of a monastery close to Constantinople when the heresy of Nestorius rose, which supposed two people in Jesus-Christ.

It left its retirement to defend the faith; but it fell itself into a new heresy, which it started to spread in 448: il' taught that there was only one nature in J. - C., the divine nature, by which the human nature had been absorbed as a water drop is by the sea.

Shown as of 449 by Eusèbe de Dorylée and Flavien of Constantinople, patriarch of Constantinople, it appeared in a council held with Éphèse and which accepted the name of Brigandage of Éphèse, because of violences which were made there. Secretly supported by the emperor Théodose, it was exonerated; but after the death of this prince he was condemned in the Concile of Chalcédoine in 451.

II died towards 454. Its heresy took great increases after its death. Its partisans are named Eutychéen S (partisans of only one nature or Monophysite S) and subsistaientt still at the 19th century in Orient, Egypt and Abyssinie.
