Origen was an early Christian scholar and theologian, and one of the most distinguished of the early fathers of the Christian Church.
Eusebius reported that Origen, following literally, castrated himself. This story was accepted during the Middle Ages and was cited by Abelard in his 12th century letters to Heloise. Scholars within the past century have questioned this, surmising that this may have been a rumor circulated by his detractors.
