Wikipedia description:
Eliezer ben Hyrcanus (or Hurcanus) (Hebrew: אליעזר בן הורקנוס) was one of the most prominent Judean Tannaim (Talmudic sages) of 1st- and 2nd-century Judaism, a disciple of Rabban Yohanan ben Zakkai according to the Pirkei Avot 2:8 and Avot of Rabbi Natan 6:3 and 14.5, and a colleague of Gamaliel II (whose sister, Ima Shalom, he married) and Joshua ben Hananiah according to Bava Batra 10b. He is the fifth most frequently mentioned sage in the Mishnah. Frequently known as 'Eliezer the Great', Eliezer ben Hyrcanus is not to be confused with the author of Pirkei De-Rabbi Eliezer, a pseudepigraphic work of the later Geonim (c. 8th-11th century).
