Eulogios the Persian (Шаблон:Lang-el, fl. 867) was an 9th-century Byzantine figure, who played a role in the aftermath of the assassination of Michael III (Шаблон:Reign) and the succession of Basil I (Шаблон:Reign) to the throne.[1]
Of Persian origin, Eulogios was reportedly well off and lived in a manor house in Constantinople.[1]Шаблон:Sfn According to Anthony Kaldellis, he may have been a descendant of the Khurramites who entered Byzantine service in the 830s.Шаблон:Sfn
After the conspirators succeeded in killing Michael III on the night of 23/24 September 867, they went to Eulogios's house and took him to the Great Palace of Constantinople.[1] There, Eulogios notified the commander of the palace guard (hetaireiarches) Artabasdos about Michael III's death, and advised him to open the gates of the palace to the new emperor, Basil I.[1]Шаблон:Sfn
Alongside his kinsmen Artabasdos and Iakobitzes, Eulogios was one of several Persians who flourished in the Byzantine Empire in 867.Шаблон:Sfn Though they were all well integrated in Byzantine society, they "continued to cultivate ethnic links to each other, expressed through language".Шаблон:Sfn
