Photius Iconoclasta – This original antique print depicts Photios I of Constantinople. Photios I (c. 810 – c. 893), also spelled Photius or Fotios, was the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople from 858 to 867 and from 877 to 886. He is recognized in the Eastern Orthodox churches and Byzantine Catholic churches as St. Photios the Great. Photios is widely regarded as the most powerful and influential Patriarch of Constantinople since John Chrysostom, and as the most important intellectual of his time, “the leading light of the ninth-century renaissance”. He was a central figure in both the conversion of the Slavs to Christianity and the Photian schism.
