Libanius: the most prolific writer of antiquity, the greatest orator and sophist of his time (4th century A.D.), the model of style for all later (Byzantine) orators, teachers, and men of letters, and himself a teacher of Saint Basil the Great, John Chrysostom, and Julian.
His vast body of work is one of the most important historical sources of Late Antiquity. At a time when humanity was crossing the threshold of the Middle Ages, Libanius stood tall to defend Greek culture and came into conflict with the intolerant darkness of the followers of the Christian doctrine.
In Greece, his name and work have remained in obscurity for centuries, and 'official' literature scandalously ignores him.
