Origen was indeed anathematized. However the only undoubted anathemas against him originate with local synods or letters from anti-Origenist authors such as Jerome and Justinian. The 15 anathemas of Justinian have been erroneously added to the conciliar documents of the 553 Ecumenical Synod, and in fact deal with a perceived Origenism based on what appears to be a selection of quotes from Evagrius Ponticus' "Kephalaia Gnostica". The 11th anathema of the genuine canons of the Ecumenical Synod is also disputed - there is significant evidence that Origen's name is a later addition to the already existing canons. The belief that Origen and Origenism were condemned at the Ecumenical Synod of 553 originates with the polemical hagiography of Cyril of Scythopolis.Cyril, in an attemp to disassociate his hero St. Savas from Theodore of Mopsuestia (whom St. Savas had previously supported) re-creates the 553 synod as an anti-Origenist one barely touching on the Three Chapters.
