'''Aëtius of Antioch''', (Aëtius Antiochenus, Αέτιος ο Αντιοχεύς), was the founder of an extreme sect of [[Arianism|Arians]] in mid fourth century the members of which became known as [[Anomoeanism| Anomoeans]]. Aëtius was a Syrian [[bishop]] and [[heretic]] who asserted that [[Jesus Christ|Jesus]] of Nazareth (the Son) was of a different nature and in no way like to that of God (the Father). His pupil Eunomius became the leader of the sect after Aëtius’ death.
