Biggirl:

Technically, the Byzantine Rite is derived from the Antiochene tradition or at least closely associated with it. At the time of the Council of Nicea [See canon 6], we see 3 major Primatial Sees, Rome, Alexandria and Antioch. Constantinopile was founded in the 4th century.

It is generally accepted that St. John Chrysostem and the Liturgy associated with him is the primary influence on what became the Byzatine Liturgical Tradition in the 4th century. The Liturgy of St. Mark associated with Alexandria also has strong influence and connection to the Byzatine Liturgy. However, I am willing to hear what our Eastern Orthodox friends here at FR have to add, clarify, me on these points.

Today, it is the Roman and Byzantine Liturgy that are predomiante in all the Liturgies used in the Apostolic Churches of the West and East.
