3. NICHOLAS OF METHONE

The biography of Nicholas, bishop of Methone († ca. 1166), is somewhat mysterious. A Life of Nicholas that circulated in 19th c. accompanied by a fine portrait of Nicholas himself was nothing less than the work of Constantine Simonides, the famous forger.106

106 The forgery was discovered by Sp. Lampros and the news was published in Draeseke 1898. On Simonides' skill in portrait see Janko 2009: 407-410. The scarce informations concerning Nicholas' life are diligently collected in Angelou 1994: ix-xxiii
