Porphyrus of Antioch
Porphyrus of Antioch was a Patriarch of Antioch of the Meletian line during the Meletian schism. He succeeded Flavian I of Antioch in 404 and died in 414 to be replaced by Patriarch Alexander of Antioch.
In the aftermath of John Chrysostom's deposal by the Synod of the Oak and a subsequent Synod in 404, John's opponents, Severian, Acacius and Antiochus sought to place priests opposed to John into positions of influence. When Flavian I died shortly after the exile of John, they rushed through a rapid election and consecration of Porphyrus. At the same time, many residents were at the Olympic Games, customarily held in July or August. The populace was offended that Constantius, Flavian's adjunct and a supporter of John's, was not installed.
