title="Arianism">Arian</a> violence is not clear. Maximus united the faith of an orthodox believer with the garb and deportment of a <a href="/wiki/Cynicism_(philosophy)" title="Cynicism (philosophy)">Cynic</a> philosopher. He was initially held in great respect by the leading <a href="/wiki/Theologians" class="mw-redirect" title="Theologians">theologians</a> of the orthodox party. <a href="/wiki/Athanasius" class="mw-redirect" title="Athanasius">Athanasius</a>, in a letter written about 371,<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> pays him several compliments on a work written in defence of the orthodox faith. </p><p>In 374, during the reign of the emperor <a href="/wiki/Valens" title="Valens">Valens</a>, in the persecution carried on by <a href="/wiki/Lucius_of_Alexandria" title="Lucius of Alexandria">Lucius</a>, Arian <a href="/wiki/Patriarch_of_Alexandria" title="Patriarch of Alexandria">patriarch of Alexandria</a>, Maximus was <a href="/wiki/Flagellation" title="Flagellation">flogged</a>, and banished to the <a href="/wiki/Oasis" title="Oasis">Oasis</a>, on account of his zeal for orthodoxy and the aid he offered to those who suffered in the same cause.<sup id="cite_ref-flobadob_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-flobadob-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> He obtained his release in about four years, probably on the death of Valens; and sometime after his release he presented to the emperor <a href="/wiki/Gratian" title="Gratian">Gratian</a> at <a href="/wiki/Milan" title="Milan">Milan</a>, his work, Περὶ τῆς πίστεως, <i>De Fide</i>, written against the Arians. </p><p>He wrote also against other heretics, but whether in the same work or in another is not clear;<sup id="cite_ref-flobadob_2-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-flobadob-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and disputed against the pagans.<sup id="cite_ref-flobadob_2-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-flobadob-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Apparently on his return from Milan he visited <a href="/wiki/Constantinople" title="Constantinople">Constantinople</a>, where <a href="/wiki/Gregory_of_Nazianzus" title="Gregory of Nazianzus">Gregory of Nazianzus</a> had just been appointed to the patriarchate (379). Gregory received him with the highest honour; and delivered a <a href="/wiki/Panegyrical" class="mw-redirect" title="Panegyrical">panegyrical</a> <a href="/wiki/Oration" class="mw-redirect" title="Oration">oration</a> (<i>Oration 25</i>), in the man's own presence in full church, before the celebration of the <a href="/wiki/Eucharist" title="Eucharist">Eucharist</a>. He received him at his table, and treated him with the greatest confidence and regard. He was, however, grievously disappointed in him. Whether the events which followed were the results solely of the ambition of Maximus, or whether Maximus was himself the tool of others, is not clear. Taking advantage of the sickness of Gregory, and supported by some <a href="/wiki/Egypt" title="Egypt">Egyptian</a> ecclesiastics, sent by <a href="/wiki/Peter_II_of_Alexandria" title="Peter II of Alexandria">Peter II</a>, <a href="/wiki/Patriarch_of_Alexandria" title="Patriarch of Alexandria">Patriarch of Alexandria</a>, under whose directions they professed to act, Maximus was ordained, during the night, <a href="/wiki/Ecumenical_Patriarch_of_Constantinople" title="Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople">Patriarch of Constantinople</a>, in the place of Gregory, whose election had not been perfectly canonical. The conspirators chose a night in when Gregory was confined by illness, burst into the cathedral, and commenced the consecration. They had set Maximus on the <a href="/wiki/Archiepiscopal" class="mw-redirect" title="Archiepiscopal">archiepiscopal</a> throne and had just begun shearing away his long curls when the day dawned. The news quickly spread and everybody rushed to the church. The <a href="/wiki/Magistrate" title="Magistrate">magistrates</a> appeared with their officers; Maximus and his consecrators were driven from the cathedral, and in the tenement of a flute-player the tonsure was completed. </p><p>This audacious proceeding excited the greatest indignation among the people, with whom Gregory was popular. Maximus withdrew to <a href="/wiki/Thessalonica" class="mw-redirect" title="Thessalonica">Thessalonica</a> to lay his cause before the <a href="/wiki/Roman_emperor" title="Roman emperor">emperor</a> <a href="/wiki/Theodosius_I" title="Theodosius I">Theodosius I</a>. He met with a cold reception from the emperor, who committed the matter to <a href="/wiki/Ascholius" title="Ascholius">Ascholius</a>, the much respected <a href="/wiki/Bishop_of_Thessalonica" class="mw-redirect" title="Bishop of Thessalonica">bishop of Thessalonica</a>, charging him to refer it to <a href="/wiki/Pope_Damasus_I" title="Pope Damasus I">Pope Damasus I</a>. Two letters from Damasus asked for special care that a Catholic bishop maybe ordained.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Maximus returned to <a href="/wiki/Alexandria" title="Alexandria">Alexandria</a>, and demanded that Peter should assist him in re-establishing himself at Constantinople. Peter appealed to the prefect, by whom Maximus was driven out of <a href="/wiki/Egypt" title="Egypt">Egypt</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>As the death of Peter and the accession of <a href="/wiki/Timothy_I_of_Alexandria" title="Timothy I of Alexandria">Timothy I of Alexandria</a> are dated to February 14, 380, these events must have occurred in 379. The resignation of Gregory, who was succeeded in the patriarchate of Constantinople by <a href="/wiki/Archbishop_Nectarius_of_Constantinople" class="mw-redirect" title="Archbishop Nectarius of Constantinople">Nectarius</a>, did not benefit Maximus. When the <a href="/wiki/First_Council_of_Constantinople" title="First Council of Constantinople">First Council of Constantinople</a> met in 381, Maximus's claim to the see of Constantinople was unanimously rejected, the last of its original four canons decreeing "that he neither was nor is a bishop, nor are they who have been ordained by him in any rank of the clergy".<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Maximus appealed from the Eastern to the Western church. In the autumn of 381 a <a href="/wiki/Synod" title="Synod">synod</a> held either at <a href="/wiki/Aquileia" title="Aquileia">Aquileia</a> or at <a href="/wiki/Milan" title="Milan">Milan</a> under <a href="/wiki/Ambrose" title="Ambrose">Ambrose</a>'s presidency considered Maximus's claims. Having only his own representations to guide them, and there being no question that Gregory's translation was uncanonical, while the election of Nectarius was open to grave censure as that of an unbaptized layman, Maximus also exhibiting letters from Peter the late venerable patriarch, to confirm his asserted communion with the church of Alexandria, the Italian bishops pronounced in favour of Maximus and refused to recognize either Gregory or Nectarius. A letter of Ambrose and his brother-prelates to Theodosius<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> remonstrates against the acts of Nectarius as no rightful bishop, since the chair of Constantinople belonged to Maximus, whose restoration they demanded, as well as that a general council of Easterns and Westerns, to settle the disputed episcopate and that of Antioch, should be held at Rome. In 382 a provincial synod held at Rome, having received more accurate information, finally rejected Maximus's claims.<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The invectives of Gregory of Nazianzus against Maximus<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> were written after their struggle for the patriarchate, and contrast starkly with the praises of his twenty-fifth Oration.
