Olympias the Deaconess
Olympias, also known as Saint Olympias and sometimes known as Olympias the Younger〔Smith, ''A Dictionary of Christian Biography, Literature, Sects and Doctrines N to S Part Seven'', p.73〕 to distinguish her from her aunt of the same name〔Moret, ''Sertorius, Libanios, iconographie: a propos de Sertorius, journée d'étude, Toulouse, 7 avril 2000 (de ) autour de Libanios, culture et société dans l'antiquité tardive : actes de la table ronde, Avignon, 27 avril 2000'', p.207〕 ((ギリシア語:Ὀλυμπιάς), sometime between 361 to 368-July 25, 408) was a Christian Roman noblewoman of Greek descent.
Olympias was born and raised either in Constantinople or Antioch. She was the daughter born to the Antiochian Greek noblewoman, Alexandra and the wealthy Greek Rhetor, Seleucus.〔Jones, ''The Prosopography of the Later Roman Empire: Volume 1, AD 260-395, Parts 260-395'', p.p.175&818〕 Olympias had a sibling, who was a parent of Olympias and Seleucus.〔Moret, ''Sertorius, Libanios, iconographie: a propos de Sertorius, journée d'étude, Toulouse, 7 avril 2000 (de ) autour de Libanios, culture et société dans l'antiquité tardive : actes de la table ronde, Avignon, 27 avril 2000'', p.207〕 Olympias was the namesake of her late paternal aunt Olympias who was once engaged to the Roman emperor Constans〔(De Imperatoribus Romanis - An Online Encyclopedia of Roman Emperors: Constans I (337-350 A.D.) )〕 who later married the Roman Client King of Arsacid Armenia Arsaces II (Arshak II).〔Moret, ''Sertorius, Libanios, iconographie: a propos de Sertorius, journée d'étude, Toulouse, 7 avril 2000 (de ) autour de Libanios, culture et société dans l'antiquité tardive : actes de la table ronde, Avignon, 27 avril 2000'', p.207〕 The paternal grandfather of Olympias was Flavius Ablabius who had held consular rank in Constantinople,〔Budge, ''Paradise of the Holy Fathers Part 1'', p.163〕 while her maternal uncle was Calliopius the Rhetor who served as a grammaticus and assistant-teacher under the Rhetor, historian Libanius〔Jones, ''The Prosopography of the Later Roman Empire: Volume 1, AD 260-395, Parts 260-395'', p.175〕 and later served as a Roman official under the Roman emperors Constantius II and Julian the Apostate.
Olympias is described as the ‘beloved daughter’ born to Seleucus and Alexandra.〔''Selected Letter of Libanius: From the Age of Constantius and Julian'', p.194〕 In her adult years, Olympias would later go to marry a nobleman called Nebridius who served as Prefect of Constantinople.〔(Catholic Online - St. Olympias )〕 After her husband died and refusing many offers of marriage,〔(New Advent Catholic Encyclopedia - St. Olympias )〕 she dedicated her life to the church, serving as a deaconess. She would later become a friend of Saint John Chrysostom.
Her good works included building a hospital, an orphanage and even looking after Monks who had been led in exile from Nitria. All of this even led to John Chrysostom telling her that she had done almost too much.〔(Patron Saint Index - Saint Olympias )〕 Her support for John Chrysostom led her to being exiled in 404, which resulted her in losing her house and living the rest of her life in exile at Nicomedia, where she would die on July 25, 408, after a long illness. Olympias is one of the 140 Colonnade saints which adorn Saint Peter's Square.
