Everything about Hierocles Proconsul totally explained
Hierocles,
proconsul of
Bithynia and
Alexandria, lived during the reign of
Diocletian (
284-
305).
He is said to have been the instigator of the fierce persecution of the
Christians under
Galerius in
303.
Hierocles was the author of a work (not extant) in two books, in which he endeavoured to persuade the Christians that their sacred books were full of contradictions, and that in moral influence and miraculous power
Christ was inferior to
Apollonius of Tyana. Our knowledge of this treatise is derived from
Lactantius (
Instit. div. v. 2) and
Eusebius, who wrote a refutation.
