METROPHANES II. - Patriarca greco unito (4 maggio 1440-1 ag. 1443), n. verso l'inizio del sec. XV; partecipò al Concilio di Firenze come metropolita di Cizico e sottoscrisse la bolla d'unione (6 luglio 1439). Eletto patriarca greco unito di Costantinopoli e intronizzato il 5 maggio fece, durante la liturgia solenne, la commemorazione liturgica del Papa.M. wrote letters to the Greeks of Crete and Modon, announcing to them his elevation from the patriarchal see and exhorting them to observe the union of the Council of Florence. His brief patriarchate was greatly hindered. Nevertheless, his perseverance in the Catholic faith and in obedience to the Pope contributed to the fact that after his death another bishop of Catholic sentiments was elected to succeed him: Gregory Mammas.
