His All-Holiness Euphemius of Constantinople (according to Theophanes: Euthymius) was the Patriarch of Constantinople from 489 to 496. He was a strong supporter of the Council of Chalcedon who came to be patriarch in the aftermath of the schism created by patriarch Acacius. During his time as patriarch Euphemius attempted to reconcile the schism with the Church of Rome while defending the Church of Constantinople from the Eutychian policies of the new emperor Anastasius I. Eventually, his strong stand against Anastasius resulted in his deposition and exile.
