  • A Chronological Particular Timeline of Near East and Europe History
    Introduction This compilation was begun merely to be a synthesized, occasional source for other writings, primarily for familiarization with European world development. Gradually, however, it was forced to come to grips with the elephantine amount of historical detail in certain classical sources. Recording the numbers of reported war deaths in previous history (many thousands, here and there!) initially was done with little contemplation but eventually, with the near‐exponential number of Humankind battles (not just major ones; inter‐tribal, dynastic, and inter‐regional), mind was caused to pause and ask itself, “Why?” Awed by the numbers killed in battles over recorded time, one falls subject to believing the very occupation in war was a naturally occurring ancient inclination, no longer possessed by ‘enlightened’ Humankind. In our synthesized histories, however, details are confined to generals, geography, battle strategies and formations, victories and defeats, with precious little revealed of the highly complicated and combined subjective forces that generate and fuel war. Two territories of human existence are involved: material and psychological. Material includes land, resources, and freedom to maintain a life to which one feels entitled. It fuels war by emotions arising from either deprivation or conditioned expectations. Psychological embraces Egalitarian and Egoistical arenas. Egalitarian is fueled by emotions arising from either a need to improve conditions or defend what it has. To that category also belongs the individual for whom revenge becomes an end in itself. Egoistical is fueled by emotions arising from material possessiveness and self‐aggrandizations. To that category also belongs the individual for whom worldly power is an end in itself.

The history and proso- pography of the Byzantine theme of Koloneia in the Pontos area have been so far discussed in a very few – yet important – works only, and this is not because of lack of interest, but because of the limited infor- mation provided by literary sources and the small number of seals discovered. The main objective is to publish two so far unknown lead seals issued by officials who served in the theme of Koloneia, as well as to provide the reader with up- dated prosopographical lists of the thematic offi- cials. Needless to say, the prosopographical lists pre- sented in this paper are incomplete, because there are more unpublished collections of seals – some of them hard to access – that have to be examined.

  • Orality, Fluid Textualization and Interweaving Themes
    Orality,Fluid Textualization and Interweaving Themes. Some Remarks on the Doloneia: Magical Horses from Night to Light and Death to Life Anton Bierl * Introduction: Methodological Reflection The Doloneia, Book 10 of the Iliad, takes place during the night and its events have been long interpreted as unheroic exploits of ambush and cunning. First the desperate Greek leader Agamemnon cannot sleep and initiates a long series of wake-up calls as he seeks new information and counsel. When the Greeks finally send out Odysseus and Diomedes, the two heroes encounter the Trojan Dolon who intends to spy on the Achaeans. They hunt him down, and in his fear of death, Dolon betrays the whereabouts of Rhesus and his Thracian troops who have arrived on scene late. Accordingly, the focus shifts from the endeavor to obtain new knowledge to the massacre of enemies and the retrieval of won- drous horses through trickery and violence. * I would like to thank Antonios Rengakos for his kind invitation to Thessalo- niki, as well as the editors of this volume, Franco Montanari, Antonios Renga- kos and Christos Tsagalis. Besides the Conference Homer in the 21st Century,I gave other versions of the paper at Brown (2010) and Columbia University (CAM, 2011). I am grateful to the audiences for much useful criticism, partic- ularly to Casey Dué, Deborah Boedeker, Marco Fantuzzi, Pura Nieto Hernan- dez, David Konstan, Kurt Raaflaub and William Harris for stimulating conver- sations. Only after the final submission of this contribution, Donald E. Lavigne granted me insight into his not yet published manuscript “Bad Kharma: A ‘Fragment’ of the Iliad and Iambic Laughter” in which he detects iambic reso- nances in the Doloneia, and I received a reference to M.F.

The Anonymous Encomium of Saint Theodosia Several years ago, when I was working on my dissertation, Professor Oikonomides advised me to undertake the philological edition of and the comment on a hagiographical text pertaining to the Iconoclasm. Thanks to Professor Oikonomides' support and encouragement I started studying saint Theodosia's hagiographical corpus and I singled out the anonymous Encomium written in her honour and proceeded with an initial approach to the subject, which was included in my thesis as an Appendix1. My interest in the «mysterious» Theodosia and the texts written about her dates from that time2. Here I present a further examination of the text as an expression of respect and commemoration to Professor Nikolas Oikonomides. The texts about saint Theodosia, the saint that led the people against the destruction of Christ's icon at the Chalke Gate of the Imperial Palace, provide scant and confusing information. The sources record the destruction as the first iconoclast act of Leo HI3, and a hagiographical account that dates from the second half of the 1.

THE FORMATION OF BYZANTINE VIEWS ON MUSLIMS DURING THE ‘DARK CENTURY’ (ca. 650-ca. 750) ILIAS MALEVITIS Thesis submitted for the degree of PhD 2015 Department of History SOAS, University of London 2 Abstract Byzantine-Muslim relations have long attracted the interest of scholars, mainly through the study of political-military events and polemic-theological attitudes. Recently, with the growth of interest in the rise of Islam and its place in the Late Antique Mediterranean world and culture, academic discussions have started to pay attention to a variety of issues and broaden their perspectives through inter-disciplinary approaches and ideas. The aim of this study is to discuss Byzantine views about the Muslims and the impact that the rise of Islam had upon the formation of these views in Christian thought (in the Byzantine and Middle Eastern areas), during the Byzantine ‘dark century’ (beginning of 7th c.-ca.

  • The Use of the Donation of Constantine in Late-Eleventh
    The Use of the Donation of Constantine in LateEleventh-Century Byzantium: the Case of Leo Metropolitan bishop of Chalcedon1 PÉTER BARA This paper invites the reader to take part in an oneirokrisia, that is, dream- interpretation. This study aims at analysing and contextualising a dream which survived amongst the documents of a religious controversy, the so-called “Komnenian iconoclast debate” whose protagonist was Leo, metropolitan bishop of Chalcedon († after 1094), and which took place between 1081 and 1094. Furthermore, this investigation also contributes to the understanding of the changing nature of episcopal office during the early Komnenian epoch. After introductory remarks on the church history of the early Komnenian period and on the Komnenian iconoclast controversy, I examine the textual tradition, dating, the genre, and the message of the dream. After this I attempt to find the context in which the dream fulfilled its function. In the dream Leo of Chalcedon is portrayed as a powerful prelate wearing imperial clothes. This representation was presumably influenced by the model of the late antique Constitutum Constantini which constituted an element in the armoury of both the pope of Rome and the patriarch of Constantinople during the eleventh century. As a result of the analysis I claim that the career of Leo of Chalcedon presented an episcopal paradigm which was rejected during the Komnenian 1 I am grateful to Terézia Olajos, Niels Gaul, Christian Gastgeber, Johannes Preiser- Kapeller, and Tibor Almási for their advice and help. I am also indebted to the Campus Hungary Programme of the Balassi Institute (Hungary), to the Aktion Österreich-Ungarn Stiftung, and to the Österreichischer Austauschdienst for their financial support.
