About Pamprepius
- Pamprepius (Greek: ?aµp??p???, Pamprépios; Latin: Pamprepius; 29 September 440 – November 484) was a philosopher and a pagan poet who rebelled against the Eastern Roman Emperor Zeno. Damascius described him as a brilliant poet, Malchus as an acute politician, but ugly, arrogant, unscrupulous and treacherous; Rhetorius, an Egyptian astrologer, called him a charlatan and a libertine.
- He has been compared to Claudian, as both these poets enjoyed eight years of political power at the side of usurpers.
- He is considered the last pagan poet.His life is known with unusual precision, as his horoscope calculated by Rhetorius in the early sixth century has been found.
