Eulamius

Eulamius (/juːˈleɪmiəs/; Greek: Eὐλάμιος), born in Phrygia, was, along with Damascius, one of the Athenian philosophers who sought asylum at the court of Khosrau I (r. 531–579) of Persia in 531/532 when Byzantine emperor Justinian I (r. 527–565) closed down the last pagan philosophical schools in Athens.^[1] Eulamius was disappointed in Persia and ultimately returned to Byzantium in 532 together with other Greek philosophers, protected by a treaty that guaranteed their safety.^[2] His name appears as Eulalios (Greek: Eὐλάλιος) in the Suda and as Eulamios (Greek: Eὐλάμιος) in the historical works of Agathias.^[1]
