Magnes The Shepherd
Magnes the shepherd, sometimes described as Magnes the shepherd boy, is a mythological figure, possibly based on a real person, who was cited by Pliny the Elder as discovering natural magnetism. His name, "Magnes", the Latin word for ''magnetite'', has been attributed as the origin of the Latin root that has passed into English, giving its speakers the words ''magnet'', '' magnetism'', the mentioned ore, and related formulations. Other authorities have attributed the word origin to other sources. As set out in Pliny's ''Naturalis Historia'' ("Natural History"), an early encyclopedia published c. 77 CE – c. 79 CE, and as translated from the Latin in Robert Jacobus Forbes' ''Studies in Ancient Technology'', Pliny wrote the following (attributing the source of his information, in turn, to Nicander of Colophon): Nicander is our authority that it agnetite orewas called Magnes from the man who first discovered it on Mount Ida and he is said to have found it when the nails o ...

Macarius Magnes
Macarius Magnes ( grc-gre, Μακάριος Μάγνης) is the author of an apology against a Neo-Platonic philosopher of the early part of the fourth century, contained in a manuscript of the fifteenth century discovered at Athens in 1867 and edited by C. Blondel (Paris, 1876). This work (called in Greek; ''Apocriticus'' in Latin) agrees in its dogmatics with Gregory of Nyssa, and is valuable on account of the numerous excerpts from the writings of the opponent of Macarius. These fragments are apparently drawn from the lost ''Against the Christians'' of Porphyry or from the ''Lover of Truth'' of Hierocles. He may be the Macarius, bishop of Magnesia, who, at the Synod of the Oak in 403, brought charges against Heraclides, bishop of Ephesus, the friend of John Chrysostom, although Adolf Harnack dated him in the late third century. Like Macarius the Younger, this Macarius is frequently confused with Macarius of Egypt Macarius of Egypt, ''Osios Makarios o Egyptios''; ...
