Why Is Eulamius Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Eulamius , born in Phrygia, was, along with Damascius, one of the Athenian philosophers who sought asylum at the court of Khosrau I of Persia in 531/532 when Byzantine emperor Justinian I closed down the last pagan philosophical schools in Athens. Eulamius was disappointed in Persia and ultimately returned to Byzantium in 532 together with other Greek philosophers, protected by a treaty that guaranteed their safety. His name appears as Eulalios in the Suda and as Eulamios in the historical works of Agathias.
