Hi from the opposite side of the Atlantic from the USA!

I'd love to say this about what is currently happening in the USA:- "................!!!!"

However, I'm sure that the moderators here won't let me, unfortunately but probably quite correctly!

I'm very ashamed to confess that I had never heard of Sima Qian before reading Dandelion's last post to this thread. His clearly expert knowledge of Chinese eunuchs has fascinated me, so much so that I'll have to research much more of the subject when I can.

Thank you, Dandelion, for enlightening ...

Hi!

Excellent modern choice, Danedlion.

My mind is perhaps too focused on ancient history to remember the contributions of such modern eunuchs, with my 'Mountain Flower' being the most recent, having lived 18th - 19th centuries.

By the way, Turing was also honoured in 2021 by having his portrait ...

Hi All!

My final nomination in this thread, this time for being the 5th greatest eunuch in history, is Eudocius, Abbot of the Monastery of St. Lazaros, Constantinople, Byzantine Empire, in the first part of the 10th century AD.

Why is explained in yet more of my biographies, presumably now in the ...

Hi All!

I thank NaturalEunuch for his very kind compliment about 'Malleus Gothorum'.

I believe that I'm also now in position to reveal very soon who is my third nominee, a certain 'Mountain Flower', as the relevant entirely fact-based & now moderated story will hopefully be posted in the story ...

Hi All!

My number four is, perhaps rather appropriately for today of all days, St. Patrick.

Having researched his history for many years, being of paternal Irish ancestry myself, I’m 99% sure he was a eunuch, castrated in circumstances at least very similar to those described in my story here ...

Hi All!

My number three is a “Mountain Flower”!

In explanation, I hope to work on returning here another old story, originally titled “OTTOMANS ۱: THE MOUNTAIN FLOWER”, now presumably within the closed archive. Beware, though it’s another long factual biography, like ‘Malleus Gothorum’, with no ...

Hi again!

Dandelion's contribution was certainly very interesting, especially as I've never before heard of the notorious eunuch concerned.

I'm here to report that I have submitted here a revised version of 'Malleus Gothorum', explaining my own number one choice, which will hopefully soon be ...

Hi All!

As we await posting of a revised ‘Malleus Gothorum’, revealing my choice of most successful eunuch in history, I now nominate my number two……..Bagoas, Alexander the Great’s young lover.

Bagoas was instrumental in changing Alexander’s attitude to the Persia he had conquered. Before the King ...

Hi all!

Sadly now quite a few years ago, I wrote a true historical biography for eunuch.org about a certain eunuch. It was titled "BYZANTINES IV : MALLEUS GOTHORUM", but I haven't yet checked whether it's still available to read within the archives at this great new website.

What I am sure is that ...
