Hardback. Condition: New. The witty and self-assertive poetry of Christopher of Mytilene and John Mauropous provides unique snapshots of eleventh-century Constantinople at the height of its splendor and elegance. Their collections, aptly called "various verses," greatly range in length and style-including epigrams, polemics, encomia, and more-and their poems were written for a broad range of social occasions such as court ceremonies, horse races, contests between schools, and funerals. Some were inscribed on icons and buildings. Many honored patrons and friends, debunked rivals, or offered satirical portraits of moral types in contemporary society. In some remarkable introspective poems, Mauropous carefully shaped a narrative of his life and career, while Christopher's body of work is peppered with riddles and jocular wordplay. This volume is the first English translation of these Byzantine Greek collections.

Brossura. Condition: new. English Text.Alessandria, 2025; paperback, pp. 232, cm 17x24.(Hellenica. 114). This volume presents the first complete English translation and commentary on six orations by John Mauropous, metropolitan of Euchaïta - a court intellectual and a liturgical poet - offered here in a revised critical edition. Delivered in the politically charged atmosphere of mid-eleventh-century Constantinople, these historical orations provide insight into the ideological, theological, and rhetorical discourses of the period, serving as vital historical sources for understanding the intellectual and political landscape of the eleventh-century Byzantine capital. Mauropous' rhetorical style moves fluidly between panegyric, political reflection, and spiritual exhortation, navigating the tensions between imperial service and personal conviction. By providing accessible translations of these texts and situating them within their broader historical and literary contexts, this volume re-establishes Mauropous as a key figure in the interplay of rhetoric, religion, and governance at the heart of the Byzantine world - Constantinople, a city that served as both symbol and driving force of imperial ideology throughout the entire lifespan of the Byzantine Empire.
