Theagenes ({{lang-el|Θεαγένης}}, floruit 470s–480s) was an Athenian politician. BiographyA native of Athens, Theagenes belonged to a wealthy and aristocratic family that claimed descent from Miltiades and Plato. He had a wife, Asclepideneia, who was the great-granddaughter of the Neoplatonic philosopher Plutarch of Athens.[1] He also had a son called Hegias.[2] He was a Roman senator, a patricius and an archon.[3] He was a supporter of the Neoplatonic school of Proclus.[4] After Proclus' death however, Theagenes came into conflict with the school's headmasters, as he used its patronage to increase his own prestige. He was a supporter of Pamprepius when the poet went to Athens, but later they fell out (Theagenes styled himself a philosopher, while Pamprepius' ambition was to become the best philosopher) and Pamprepius was forced to leave the city.[5] A panegyric dedicated to Theagenes, probably written by Pamprepius, exists.[6] Notes1. ^Glen Warren Bowersock, Peter Robert Lamont Brown, Oleg Grabar, Late antiquity: a guide to the postclassical world, Harvard University Press, 1999, {{ISBN|0-674-51173-5}}, p. 321. {{authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Theagenes (Patrician)}}2. ^Edward Watts, City and School in Late Antique Athens and Alexandria, University of California Press, 2008, {{ISBN|0-520-25816-9}}, p. 116. 3. ^Suda Θ 78. 4. ^Watts, p. 110. 5. ^Watts, pp. 119–120; Nagy, p. 30. 6. ^Nagy, Gregory, Greek Literature, Routledge, 2001, {{ISBN|0-415-93770-1}}, p. 486. 3 : Patricii|5th-century Byzantine people|Byzantine Athenians |
