Eusebius: Difference between revisions

However, [[Athanasius of Alexandria]] became a more powerful opponent and in 334 he was summoned before a synod in Caesarea (which he refused to attend). In the following year, he was again summoned before a [[First Synod of Tyre|synod in Tyre]] at which Eusebius of Caesarea presided. Athanasius, foreseeing the result, went to [[Constantinople]] to bring his cause before the Emperor. Constantine called the bishops to his court, among them Eusebius. Athanasius was condemned and exiled at the end of 335. Eusebius remained in the Emperor's favour throughout this time and more than once was exonerated with the explicit approval of the Emperor Constantine.{{citation needed|date=January 2021}} After the Emperor's death (c. {{circa|337}}), Eusebius wrote the ''[[Life of Constantine]]'', an important historical work because of eyewitness accounts and the use of primary sources.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=KchhO8KEy3cC&q=%22Life+of+Constantine%22|title=Eusebius' Life of Constantine|publisher=Clarendon Press|year=1999|isbn=978-0-19-158847-1|editor-last=Cameron|editor-first=Averil|editor-link=Averil Cameron|series=Clarendon Ancient History|location=Oxford|language=en|editor-last2=Hall|editor-first2=Stuart G.}}</ref>
