Leonard Weisgard(Harper, 1951) Baby Animals, illus.
Illus, with his friend Pamprepius, now retired from court.
In 484, the Roman general Illus broke off his relationship with emperor Zeno.
This irritated her and she, like her mother, attempted to assassinate Illus.
Illus also captured Zeno's brother, Longinus, as a tool to keep Zeno under control.
In 483, when Zeno requested Longinus' liberation, Illus refused and started the rebellion that led to his death.
Illus and Leontius were forced to take refuge inside the fortress of Papurius, where the insurgents held out for four years.
Marcian's forces were corrupted by Illus; and Marcian himself, with his brothers Procopius and Romulus, was taken.
Illus, who had been a supporter of Basiliscus but later had passed on Zeno's side, used Longinus to keep Zeno under control.
Finally, Zeno alienated his fellow Isaurian general Illus, who was bribed by Basiliscus.
During his operations in Isauria, Illus took Zeno's brother Longinus prisoner and kept him in an Isaurian fortress.
He tried to escape a second time, and this time he succeeded, but, after gathering new troops and attacking Ancyra,he was defeated and captured by Trocundus, Illus' brother.
Illus not only refused her request, but charged her with wishing to place another person on her husband's throne.
The uprising, received military support by Theodoric Strabo, Illus and Armatus and succeeded in taking control of Constantinople.
Illus was an Isaurian, but the time and place of his birth are unknown; he had a brother, called Appallius Illus Trocundus.
In the fourth year,the death of Trocondus was discovered, and Illus, enraged at the deceit practised on him by Pamprepius, put him to death.
Illus is said to have held various offices under the Emperor Leo I(457-474), and to have been an intimate friend of Zeno, apparently before his accession.
When his brother, the Emperor Zeno, was deposed by Basiliscus and pursued by the Imperial army in Isauria(475),Longinus was captured by the Isaurian general Illus and held prisoner for a decade.
In 484, the Isaurian magister militum Illus rebelled against Zeno and fled to the East, where he supported the usurpation of Leontius.
The fort was soon after taken by the treachery of Trocondus's brother-in-law,who had been sent for the purpose from Constantinople by Zeno, and Illus and Leontius were beheaded(488) and their heads sent to the emperor.
Trocondus, the brother of Illus, was consul 482; and Illus himself enjoyed the dignities of patricius and magister officiorum.
Illus, knowing that his intimacy with him had been the real cause of his banishment, received him into his household, and, on his return to the capital, took him with him.
Soon after his elevation, Basiliscus had despatched Illus and his brother Trocundus against Zeno, who, now in his native fortresses, had resumed the life of an Isaurian chieftain.
Illus freed Verina, too(Zeno had previously exiled her), but then decided to depose Marcian and elevate Leontius to the throne; Marcian was then sent to Italy to ask for Odoacer's help.
Jordanes ascribes her hatred to another cause: he says that Illus had infused jealous suspicions into Zeno's mind which had led Zeno to attempt her life, and that her knowledge of these things stimulated her to revenge.
Illus and Leontius were ignorant of his fate, and, encouraged by Pamprepius who gave them assurances of Trocondus's return and of ultimate victory, held out with great tenacity for over three years.
During the night, however, Illus brought an Isaurian unit quartered in nearby Chalcedonia into the city and corrupted Marcian's soldiers, who allowed Zeno to flee.
Illus served Zeno well, defeating the usurper Marcian, but came into conflict with the dowager Empress Verina, and supported the revolt of Leontius, but the rebellion failed and Illus was killed.
During the blockade, Illus and Trocondus were secretly encouraged by the Senate in Constantinople to support Zeno against Basiliscus, with whom they had had a falling-out; Illus himself was discontent with the usurper for permitting the killing of the Isaurians who remained in the capital after Zeno's flight.
We do not know that Illus was a pagan, though Pamprepius was; it is more likely that Illus was a man of no fixed religious principles, and that his revolt originated either in ambition, or in a conviction that his only prospect of safety from the intrigues of his enemies and the suspicions of Zeno was the deposition of the emperor.
