Aelia Eudocia Augusta (c. 401–460) is the wife of Theodosius II, and a prominent historical figure in understanding the rise of Christianity during the beginning of the Byzantine Empire.

Eudocia lives in a world where Greek paganism and Christianity are still coming together.

Although Eudocia's work has been mostly ignored by modern scholars, her poetry and literary work are great examples of how her Christian faith and Greek upbringing are intertwined, exemplifying a legacy that the Byzantine Empire will leave behind on the Christian world.
