Eutyches
375 CE–454 CE · Constantinople (Istanbul)
Eutyches (c. 375 - c. 454) was an elderly archimandrite (head of a monastery) near Constantinople who, opposing Nestorius, taught an extreme position later called Eutychianism or Monophysitism: that after the Incarnation Christ had only one nature, his humanity absorbed into his divinity. After first being condemned at a local synod in 448, his teaching was definitively rejected at the Council of Chalcedon (451).
Contested teaching
Condemned at a synod of Constantinople (448) and definitively at the Council of Chalcedon (451) for teaching that Christ had a single nature, his humanity absorbed into his divinity.
