Fabius Planciades Fulgentius
Fabius Planciades Fulgentius (fl. late 5th – early 6th century) was a Latin writer of late antiquity. Four extant works are commonly attributed to him, as well as a possible fifth which some scholars include in compilations with much reservation. His mythographic work was greatly admired and highly influential throughout much of the medieval period, but is viewed with little favour today.
==Life==
Very little is known about the life of Fulgentius other than the few references he makes to himself in his own works. His style of Latin, knowledge of Greek, and his view on classical authors and cults suggests that he was probably educated in colonial North Africa.〔Whitbread, p. 3〕 Other references to African culture in his work support placing him in this region, clearly before the Muslim invasions of the 7th century. Moreover, his apparent knowledge of the Libyco-Berber language and script indicates that he was probably an ethnic African, with him referring to the language in his ''On the Ages of the World and of Man'' as being part of his 'own' heritage.〔(Vandals, Romans and Berbers ) p. 104〕 Traditionally Fulgentius has been thought to have had a professional career as a ''grammaticus'' or ''rhetor'' (teacher of rhetoric).〔Whitbread, p. 6〕 However, this belief is based on small incidental clues Fulgentius leaves behind in work and has been contested by some scholars.〔Hays, Date and Identity, p. 211〕 It remains possible that he was simply an amateur writer. In his prologue to Book 1 of the ''Mythologies'', Fulgentius mentions a wife, though it is unclear whether this is a genuine autobiographical detail or part of his fictional persona in the story.〔Hays, Date and Identity, p. 212〕
