Who is Pamprepius?
Pamprepius 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.
