This article is about the Byzantine church historian. For the famous ancient Greek philosopher, see
Socrates. Socrates of Constantinople was a Greek
Christian church historian, a contemporary of
Sozomen and
Theodoret, who used his work; he was born at
Constantinople c. 380: the date of his death is unknown. Even in ancient times nothing seems to have been known of his life except what can be gathered from notices in his Historia Ecclesiastica ("Church History"), which departed from its ostensible model,
Eusebius of Caesarea, in emphasizing the place of the emperor in church affairs and in giving secular as well as church history.
