Cyril of Alexandria (AD 370–444) was a towering figure of his time. As the patriarch of Alexandria (in 412), the tradition of leaders before him elevated the Alexandrian see to a position of great influence, rivaled only by Rome, Constantinople, and Antioch. Cyril is most famous for his Christological works, formulating a doctrine of the hypostatic union grounded in Nicene theology that articulates two natures in Christ, a human and divine, which are hypostatically united in the one person.
