Basil Glykys

Saint Basil Glykys was Archbishop of Thessaloniki around the middle of the 13th century. He was nicknamed "the Monk", which suggests that he had been a monk before taking the see of Thessaloniki. His name appears in a synodal act dated 4 May 1250, and some sources say he succeeded Manuel Opsaras Dispasios.

His likeness survives in a fresco at the Vatopedi monastery on Mount Athos, where the saint is painted full length, though the part below the waist is damaged. He is venerated as a saint in the Greek Orthodox calendar; the sources consulted give no day of commemoration.
