FRSEMR 38m - Meeting the Byzantines

Institution:

Harvard University

Subject:

Description:

Byzantium remains for many an alien place, in some respects an imaginary world from a very distant past. The seminar focuses on bringing participants closer to the people of Byzantium through representative groups and individuals, from emperors to monks, from scholars to soldiers. How did one become emperor or empress? Who controlled the content of religious dogma? Who helped pagan Greek literature to survive in a conservative Christian culture? Who took care of the recording of history?
