Abbott Suger did not draw his inspiration from a Greek philosopher. He drew his inspiration from an early missionary to Gaul: St. Denis. However, St. Denis was actually drawn from an early follower of St. Paul, one Dionysius, who became Bishop of Athens. He then set out to "missionize" France, where he was eventually martyred by the Romans.
