Question

A writer, whose name was Olympiodrus was also known as: *​

Answer 1

A pseudonym is a false or fictitious name, especially one used by an author. When an author uses a pseudonym, it can also be called a pen name or a nom de plume. There are many reasons an author may choose to use a pseudonym instead of their own name, such as to avoid controversy or to create a persona.

Answer 2

Answer:

Nothing of his has come down to us in a written form. He is called Olympiodorus the Elder in contemporary references because there was a later (6th century) Neoplatonist philosopher also called Olympiodorus (Olympiodorus the Younger) who also taught in Alexandria.
