Image Tower of winds.jpg thumb 300px The Tower of Winds Andronicus of Cyrrhus Ancient Greek Greek or Andronicus Cyrrhestes ,son of Hermias, was a Greece Greek astronomer who flourished about 100 BC. He built a horologion at Athens , the so called Tower of the Winds , a considerable portion of which still exists. It is octagonal, with figures carved on each side, representing the eight principal winds. In antiquity a bronze figure of Triton god Triton on the summit, with a rod in his hand, turned round by the wind, pointed to the quarter from which it blew. From this model is derived the custom of placing weathercocks on steeples.

He was nephew of John of Antioch John I , Patriarch of Antioch, brought up under Euthymius the famous hermit of Palestine . He was ordained deacon by Juvenal of Jerusalem on his visit to the Laura of Euthymus in 429 AD . On the death of his uncle, in 441 AD , he was elected his successor, and almost at once ranked as the chief bishop of the Eastern world. In 445 AD he summoned a synod of Syrian bishops which confirmed the deposition of Athanasius of Perrha . In 447 AD he consecrated Irenaeus of Tyre Irenaeus to the see of Tyre Lebanon Tyre Theodoret, Epistle 110 but emperor Theodosius II , commanded that the appointment should be annulled on the grounds that Irenaeus was both a digamus and a supporter of Nestorianism . He defended Ibas , bishop of Edessa, Mesopotamia Edessa , against charges of promulgating Nestorian doctrines, and summoned a council at Antioch 448 which decided in favor of Ibas and deposed his accusers. Domnus s sentence, though revoked by Flavian of Constantinople Flavian , Patriarch of Constantinople , was confirmed by three episcopal commissioners to whom he and the emperor Theodosius II had committed the matter.
