Christian bishop of Antioch from 360 to 381
b. 4th century · d. 381
19th Patriarch of Antioch (Greek line) · 360–381
Meletius of Antioch was a Christian patriarch of Antioch from 360 until his death in 381. He was opposed by a rival bishop named Paulinus II of Antioch and his episcopate was dominated by the schism, usually called the Meletian schism. As a result, he was exiled from Antioch in 361–362, 365–366 and 371–378. One of his last acts was to preside over the First Council of Constantinople in 381.
