Epiphanios

   Bishop (q.v.) of Salamis (Constantia) in Cyprus (q.v.) from 367-403, writer, and authority on heresy (q.v.). He was hostile to both religious art and to classical education. He is also remembered for his opposition to those defending the theology of Origen (q.v.). This is illustrated by how he was drawn into a controversy that pitted John Chrysostom against a supporter of Origen, Theophilos of Alexandria (qq.v.). His support of Theophilos took him to Constantinople (q.v.); on the return voyage he died. Among the writings is one entitled Refutation of All the Heresies.
